Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Of a Song

A song may ask to find your heart
                             or give your heart away
It could perhaps, be what you need
                                   to face another day

A song may lift a heavy load
                                and send it to the sky
Or help you know the way you feel
                         and know the reasons why

For beauty known by other names
                          a song can’t be dismissed
To serenade your velvet dreams
              as though you’ve just been kissed

Yet when a tear maybe the cure
                          for righting what is wrong
There is no potion, pill or drink
                               as mighty as the song
