You Affect Me

Like sad music 
Can move me to tears
A cello’s deep
Hauntingly beautiful sound
Plays my soul with its resonance	

Like a majestic sunrise over the ocean
Infinitive water and sky and fire
That brings enigmatic joy to my heart
The hope in endless new beginnings
The absolute awe of nature

You affect me 
You connect to that deep place in my soul
In a way that no one else ever has.

Thank you Lewis. If you've had it more than once, you are extremely fortunate. Most people don't even find it once. I felt it ... but I don't have it. Sigh ....

Music is my first love. I play piano and violin, but my favorite instrument is the cello :) It has the most beautiful, deep sound. Love how you describe it. Thank you for reading!! Best, Judy
