The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music

Music
Eight little notes
Strung upon the lines
Pages of magical dancing combinations

Eight little notes
Opening the doors of humanities soul
Mathematical rhythms in colors you see
Keeping a universal score

Eight little notes
Surviving every love and every war
For music makes all men brothers in arms
In the highlands they march to this very score

Eight thousand mathematical dreams
Traveling through history, both rocky and serene
When they seek out those eight magical music notes
Lovers often find their lovers bed 

Eight times some have to listen
For ears are not always open nor glisten
When they come to hear the message
They soon see the waltz is only the commencing

Music
The eight roads to any heart
Marching towards eternity
Scores of notes tell us just so


( Alizee told me so   )

It is amazing what eight little notes can do. Just as your combination of little words amaze.

Notes or words start in our souls, and your words flow easily, lyrically. Enjoyed it!
