Music; My Sanctuary

 

 

My heart pulsates when music sounds,
A  lovely rhythm to lift my soul..

Hardships of the world,
People crying and people dying..

I sit in solitude
Trying to hinder the sounds of misery,

Switch..Power on..Volume to the highest.

Oh Music! In this world of smoke and mirrors,
You are my refuge
..and without you, life, would be a vast mistake..

Author notes

Quote Prompt: Without music, life would be a mistake.
Frederich Nietzsche

    'Oh Muisc! ' You see the spelling error there, don't you? I really like how you expressed so many emotions in just a couple of lines. A strong write, one that really speaks for the human society. Keep it up! Good luck with the contest!

    Oh great work! I love the painting, abstract stuff is my weakness! Loved this, music is my life too. But I guess you already knew that.
    Good luck in the contest! I need to catch up, you have been writing many lovely poetry pieces lately.
