Poem is Like Music

Each word a note, a quiet song,
lines rise and fall where hearts belong.
Pauses hum as loudly as the sound,
meaning dances, turning all around.
Rhythm threads through every heartbeat
and soul and melody at last meet.

I agree, poems are like music for our souls. Writing is an act of faith and creativity just like writing and playing music is. Outstanding!!** hugs, Sara
