Carole Cookie Arnold Poet Free verse

Porcelain and Onyx

Porcelain and Onyx
Free verse

His Agile fingers float across 
The faces of porcelain and onyx
Translucently releasing a glow

Firing the atmosphere with romance 
Stirring emotions into a harmonic melody
Eyes closed he sees each note arise

A melodic ambiance saturates the room
There is no ceiling in creating music
To be able to bring rapture to every heart

As I sat and listened on my porch
Among the buttercups responding 
To His sweet refrains

I feel moved, exhilarated, and universal
One with all humankind for music 
Is the world’s universal language

My words float from the banjo of time
Riding upon the four winds with unity
Music is the common tie between
Us all

That
Every
 Ear
And
 Spirit
 Understands
