Soul Music

The poem is written for me by M.C.B.

I decided I couldn't wait until Christmas....

You play the strings of my heart

with ease and delicacy

Rich tones, dancing rhythms

Making my body sing;

soft strokes of a bow caress my soul

Dancing at a whirlwind allegro

Around a ballroom we cannot see

Our melodies entwined in perfect polyphony

Counterpoint rivalling Bach in its complexity

Each note in its perfect place

The tempo slows to a gracious Largo

Ma non troppo

Never too much

Never enough

We dance to the music of our hearts,

Our very souls

Though the tempo may change,

Let the music carry on
