Musical Therapy

Musical thoughts consume my brain
 Beautiful melodies keeping me sane
 Half notes and whole notes play in my head
 Harmonious playing keeps me from seeing red
 Blood pressure goes up as if in crescendo
 Sweet sounds of music lower it as in decrescendo
 Your words constantly peck at my mental like staccato
 I notice how you’re always trying to control the tempo
 Like a dal segno al fine, I’m going to end this
 I refuse to repeat myself, this is not a musical bis
 I turn up the volume and hear the steady rhythms
 Saxes, snares, cellos, and violins
 The richness of the composition steadies my pulse
 With music my therapy, I need nothing else!
