Music is…(to me)

(pic. Guitar-Ben Marsh)

An innocent goddess,
A crystal sometimes stomped,
The shriek of the stars,
Shelter for my feelings,
A touch of great modesty,
Ruins of the greatest loves
Rhythm of intense heartbeats
The lover’s monologue
the ballade of happiness
elegy of tears
serrenade for deities
precious whispers
the pride of the ordinary
and pedestal of the virtuous
Music, is everything!

Author notes

A short poem about music. I have to admit, it's hard explaining about something so big in our lives...music. Whenever I think about music what she can do, I get the chills. I can't imagine a world without music, it's extraordinary.

  Thank you...I've always wanted to write a poem about music, but it seemed like I never could find the time. When I saw the contest, I was like "I have to do this now".
