Euphony in dissonanceA Poem by Abdul Aziz
Euphony in
dissonance There's a song
that's playing for millennia, Ebbing and flowing
like the tides of the mind, Sweet and
enthralling like a clarinet note, Pulsating with the
vigor of countless hearts. The notes are
written by the legend of man, And chords are
spliced by the blades of time. Decided by the
cello, the tone is mellow, Sung by the chorus
of drops of blood. The major key
unlocks the chest And is aptly
followed by the minor one. It unlocks the door
to a million dreams Pounding on the
walls of besieged hearts. A singer may drop a
note or two, But never does the
melody waver. Dissonance acts
like a peacock's dance, Bringing ephemeral
moments of imperfection. Moments of obdurate
self perception. Each singer has a
portion unique to themselves, But differing only
in the tenor of voice. The chorus is
blessed by angelic disposition, And it all comes
together for the song of life. Drenched in the
rain of kindred dreams, Cleansing ourselves
of unsightly pain, Swaying to the tune
of the whistling breeze, We stand shoulder
to shoulder to sing again. Perfect symmetry
can never be attained. Euphony dances with
the wine of dissonance. For all our
secrets, for all our mistakes, For what it’s
worth, the fact still remains. We may all be
different. But we are still
human. © 2010 Abdul AzizFeatured Review
