The world is full of music.
The music of the heart
It sounds with each beat.
The rhythm of life it steadily keeps.
A heart of music; a melody blend.
The pulse of each vein
that mixes with time and breath.
tap, tap, tap goes the beat.
The sounds that penetrate
and permeate the ears.
something that rests in the soul
the beauty and the magnitude
that draws us to the primitive call
of love long since forgotten.
Music of the heart
is like a babbling brook
with a gentleness
only music can give.
ebbing in an easy fashion.
penetrating the soul
as it courses through the veins.
All sounds don’t blend
to make a concerto so sweet,
but from the discord
other sounds escape
to claim their rightful place.
The falling of a rock on dry crusted land,
or the belch of a volcanos roar.
All blend together
to make a melody
of unparalleled magnificence
that only the heart can discern.
Music that will stir the emotions;
settles the fears;
calms the mind
as it relaxes the spirit
Nothing else can soothe like
the sound of music.
the music of the heart.
I really like the imagery and sound bite of the last stanza comparing music with the sounds of nature… and the unparalleled magnificence only the heart can discern….. Why not do more with this? Just a thought
The falling of a rock on a dry crusted land or the belch of a volcanos roar.
All blend together
to make a melody of unparalleled magnificence that only the heart can discern.
