A Calmness of Man

Sings in voices yearning for more, the throat, the stir, the message of yore.

Sing the symphony come to call, the music that rings, deep in us all.

 

We dance, we glide, we let it take us and hide.

Inside that place where fire burns bright.

 

The warmth of music will bring it to light.

Burn desire deep in our souls, the music cannot, will not let go.

 

We sing a new song to go in grace, we feel that power, the beauty, that wonderful race.

We leap in joy as a little boy or girl. We feel the harmony as our hearts unfurl.

 

Oh the composition that words add to, we sing the song that springs anew.

Oh this chorus in all of life, we sing and dance to avoid the strife.

 

We feel the music deep in our bones, the tumult, the richness of music's unknowns.

The memories of long ago, in the notes of fireworks as a blast of the flow.

 

Music brings what nothing else can

It brings in us a calmness of man.

So well-said...music is probably the ultimate art form, it's truly universal and accessible to everyone...not everybody likes books or paintings but everybody likes music...I like the form you used, it's unique and has a musical feel to it with the way your use rhymes and where you place them within the piece...I love the image of our hearts unfurling as we feel the harmonies, but every stanza carries its own unique observation...you've truly covered all the bases when it comes to the therapeutic functions of music...great piece, and well-crafted from start to finish...I really enjoyed this one.
