For Music

Some child, behind a whisper,

does live for music.

Longs,

To hear shimmering tones,

Melody, high, low, violin " Ashokan Waltz, A sock hop, Mozart...

The sweet playing of one so young,

so as to set your heart overwhelmed with a joy like no other.

To be touched again by the sweet angry eyes of another child’s longing to feel present,

Who begs love because she knows it is the one thing that shall complete her.

To be held with loving grace, the large long fingered hands, 6 feet tall, enwrapped in a gentleness unrivaled by any.

Some child, behind a whisper does live for music.

A child hidden,

Masked through firm hand, strong tiny form who dances with headphones mile upon mile upon mile.

Young man’s face

Enshrouded with wisps of silver, white, brown, black hair

The directional lines of

The Prophet’s ‘seasonless’ world mapped deep, directional cause, effect across his cheeks

Some child, behind the voice of conviction

Facts, diagrams, judgments,

Saved by music.

This child does live for music,

Longing to be sung through aged lips.

I can't count how many times it's seemed as though music is my only escape now...

Pewrhaps it is soothing to everyone at times but people need other people who are kind and gentle..Not cruel and selfish..Sadly that is what the world is slowly becoming..lol and God bless..Kathie

A very good poem, describing, well in short, music is life. I picked up that there is a young man with long fingers, height of 6 foot tall. I am assuming you know and love this person and for private purposes, I will not say who.
