what music can do

What music can do 

Last night, all night, I listened to music
and my heart cried not in sorrow but
It flew away and soared in the beauty
of the human voice
No. I was not there in person, but that
Didn't matter; it was about the beauty
of us, yes, we are a great race, so
Why the hatred that is on those
who hate to hear our jubilant voice
I'm a poet dreaming that I once could
Write a poem bringing humanity into
a circle of love

I am also a holder of that wish, AND, music, yes, it can and does transport me, even intoxicates me, often making my wish rise above sorrow where it is joined by He who instilled it in me. Can you tell I felt your poem? Poetry hugs ... CayCay
