MYSTERIES OF MUSIC
What in music makes you want to laugh or cry?
Or feel love in dulcet tones that you want to sigh,
We can feel the music as well as hear the sound,
Sometimes flying free, no longer on the ground.

I feel I know the souls of composers long gone,
Knowing his joys and sorrows making us one,
Just like kindred spirits we have always known,
Bringing joy to us though long since gone home.

Listen to those feelings flowing through the sound,
Like some ethereal thread that has me safely bound,
But bound in love and harmony as the music played,
When the piece is finished you wish it had stayed.

Sometimes I close my eyes and part of heaven find,
It fills with sweet contentment my heart and mind,
Other times I want to dance light as a butterfly,
Another moments just sit and relax and gently sigh.

It awakes within me a spirit sweet so very strong,
Makes my heart want to sing a continuous song,
I want to fill my life with music soft and sweet,
And pray that when I die each composer I will meet.
