Notes About The Poem

Blitz of Words Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Power of Music

POWER OF MUSIC

People have the strength
People have the power 
Power to control
Power to influence
Influence to evolve
Influence to change
Change to make a difference
Change for the better
Better well-being
Better perspectives
Perspectives in life
Perspectives in love
Love is a decision
Love is actions
Actions that are emotional 
Actions that are physical
Physical in sharing activities
Physical touch
Touch is love
Touch of mind or feelings
Feelings expressed in dance
Feelings written in songs
Songs about love, longings
Songs that touch our souls
Souls of the broken hearted
Souls lost, searching for something
Something they can hang on
Something to give them hope
Hope to lift them up
Hope to give them strength
Strength to have faith
Strength to give them courage
Courage to turn around
Courage to tell their stories
Stories in form of poetry 
Stories in form of melodies
Melodies can be instrumental or have lyrics             
Melodies are part of music 
Music makes us feel
Music are encoded in our memories
Memories with vivid details of events
Memories of our past
Past that is lost with Alzheimer’s disease
Past totally erased with memory loss
Loss retrieved for a moment through music    
Loss revivified temporarily with music’s power 
Power …
Music …

You wrote an excellent poem Marilene, but you got the title wrong sadly.. It is supposed to be the first letter in the third and forty seventh line.. however, I still awarded you a Honourable Mention for your efforts..

Thanks so much SO for considering a placement for my poem and of course for your compliment. Thanks for pointing out my mistake and it is a lesson learned for me. Better to recheck the contest description again and again. Have a great weekend.
