Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Musical Notes

When things get rough
Music takes me away
Whether, notes fall with tears
Or melodies relax me,
I am released from all 
That overwhelms me
The music carries me, 
When burdens are too heavy
The songs peel away layers of pain
I travel to the place, music takes me
As I listen, the pain lessens
My heart a little lighter
My mind a little clearer
My soul filled with air
In this life I breathe
I can move on with strength
To do what I must do
I look back on my footprints
Impressions of musical notes
Are left shining on my path in life
For every step, music led my way
For every breathe I took,
With each tune I heard
For every tear I cried that healed me
I am alive, with every song to be heard
