Music

If you apreciate the music
and let your mind play images of sound

If you dance
and let the tempo guide your feet

If the headphones
say the words you cannot

If you sing
and it washes your fears and troubles away

If you blast melodious tunes
in your room for hours

And create silly poems like this
Then you've got soul
not music.

This poem reminds me of a famous saying " Dance as if no one is watching you!!" thats what I feel when I read it! It has potential to be one of those universally known expressions!! It really captures the mood one has when "enslaved" by musical beauty (at least for me) exceptionally well when you wrote " I f you dance and let the tempo guide your feet"; and the mood of salvation and hope when listening to music with the words "If the headphones say what you cannot"
What tops the whole is the end! Its still making me ponder, which is the prime focus for me in reading, making me think and imagine!!
Very well done!

LoL...Right on. Catch the real essence of writing just lally gagging around until something smacks you over the head! Or gets stuck in your head...I Like it.

Oh, I don't know--can music and soul not go together? I think you must possess both.

Actually I lied..."let your mind play images of sound" I love that!

Now I'm done.

Music like mathematics is a universal language, We still percieve it from our own perspective but few people are immune to its effects it speaks without the need for words
