If the Music Can

           Can music save your mortal soul?

                     -Don McLean

If the music can--with the simplest tune--

     Extract a man from a world of gloom;

Then assert your hand--making the darkness swoon--

     As we stand, singing melodies by light of the moon.

If music can save your mortal soul--as I believe it can--

     Then let it create a portal so--we may channel it again and again--

Let it swell and let it grow, challenging the mind and hand,

     With love and devotion--with an ability to understand.

If the music can make a strong man cry--

     And with another key, help dry your eyes--

Then may the music never die;

     But forever remain one of our greatest allies.

A great little ode to inspire. Diligent diction and a clean honest voice. Very nicely tuned and of course very well done. Keep Writing.
