Music's Journey
Tranquil music whisking my heart off on a journey
Freeing it from the bodies knotted pain
Notes played slowly releasing the tension
Drowning
Smoothing
Easing comprehension
Then with storming conviction the musical instruments rise to an empowering climax
Drifting back down slowly, gently laying my heart delicately on my sleeve
Eyes closed
Breath slow
Soul silent, content
Play my tears to sleep
Bound now free
Send me soaring into magnificent red, orange and pink sunsets
To warm winds playing music through my hair
Orchestrating the rhythm of my heart
My souls dancing in the meadows of your angels melodies
Play on.....Play on......
The Beauty Within
Far beneath the surface, underneath the skin
Lies a beauty more precious than any
for it is the beauty within
Enclosed in an average wrapper
may lie a heart of gold
Or a heart so precious and tender
that for no price could it be sold
So quickly our eyes are to deceive us
of what a true treasure may be
That to find one that is truly genuine
we must look through our hearts to see
A lesson so few ever realize
and one that others may never learn
Sacrificing themselves of a valuable prize
that their eyes forbid them to earn
