My Debt to Music

My Debt to Music

A Poem by Nina Burke

I'll wear your clef around my neck
and let my body be your stave

I'll paint my empty spaces with sweet rhythm
and a masterpiece is what you'll have.

I'll carry your tune in the sheets of my skin

Every note will vibrato a sound for you
and will never be forgotten

Above all the greatest things ever created
I know where I belong

I'll repay the debt of all your users dear music
by forever being your song

That's great, I'm glad you liked it and more importantly could relate to it.
The best payment of all is to give yourself.
You promise as much and the words show a fine delivery of payment. I'm sure the music you create repays even more so.
