Why Music
Why Music
Why music do I so fondly embrace
in lieu of bending to the planet's din
or seeking an atom's relative place
and the orbital mysteries therein?
Why do l spurn the lure of fluid grain
and turn hard away from the tainted leaf,
preferring rather a mournful refrain
embodied in a tenor's dulcet grief?
Is it in the need so to emulate
the hue and passion of musical tone
and thus by my heart's rhythm orchestrate
the kneeling close by sweet melody's throne?
The liquid beauty of harmonic chords,
echoing days of wonder, days of bliss,
fill my heart brimming with the sweet rewards,
blessed memories of each and every kiss.
