Your majesty Music,
The queen of sensations, -
I am your follower,
The sounds translator…
Tunes synchronous rise -
Incredibly blissful.
Who did invent you?
The human - your vassal.
Oh, lovely Melody,
Break out of prison,
Capture by violin,
Bow and my heart…
Author notes
"Music Rises Up" a bronze statue in the floor of the foyer of the Stopera in Amsterdam. It is an amazing work of art - rumoured to be by the Netherland's own Queen Beatrix -
The translation on the plaque reads:
Music Rises
Like the mushroom puts her tender hat,
stormy through the rough forest ground.
So the music rises from the unexpected depths,
up with forces, that break the marble.

Love your short and sweet words on music. I am a musician and agree with you about her majesty. -

Very nice, as I read my thoughts were filled with images, and agreement tohere is power in music, it seems to find things within each of us...lovely...PK

A good look at the subject. Music, creation of the soul of man, freeing us and enslaving us to its charms.
I feel that the song is flowing all around us, every once in a while we are allowed to reach out and grab some of it and we are allowed to make it our own.
While being short in duration, this piece is deep in what it has to tell.
Peace

Beautiful! The only thing I would suggest is maybe capitalizing Music and Melody to drive home the personification. Also I'm not sure but you might mean "sound's" or "sounds' "

Wow
That was amazing. I didn't think I'd like it at first. I wouldn't change a thing, it was fantastic! Beautiful!
