the miracle of music

music sad , loving, having a beat or just having a pattern of notes is a miracle

music  transcends time,

space and language

it can flow in Germany, Hong Kong,

Paris , or Japan,

everyone can sing along,or listen

in awe

 to sublime

music 

we must be born

to  be adorned

with songs,  a horn

a flute and the strings

flying thru space

landing at our face into our

ears...

and  delighting  

our bountiful heart

 the music

of yesterday and today

beckons us to

 feel and play

Hey!

Thank you for entering your poem into my competition. I really like that in such a short piece you have conveyed how much music can benefit an individual or society and how it has a global effect.

I really like the rhythm, flow and the energy of it all, you have created musicality within your verses.

Once again, thank you.

I couldn't agree more my friend, I listen to any music, with any language, even if I don't understand the words, as long as it grips my heart, embrace it with the language of the spirits, I believe in the timeless power of music, and what a completely wonderful title You've chosen, beautiful my friend, beautiful to the hearts...

Definitely. Music can stop you in your tracks.
Take you back in time.
I must admit. I prefer listening to music whilst driving. Though Pink Floyd must be played in the dark.

All of the above is true and well articulated. Music can soothe and heal and might tame some wild passions. An excellent write.

[marilyn 1225]

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Sami... my self criticism is that the rhythm and rhyme is not the best... but the idea as you expressed is a good one

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome.
