Ode to Music
It lifts me up
the sound
like tendril of flame
reaching
for the stars
they are living
breathing
seeing
like a flower petal
like a seed
becoming a tree
like a letter
becoming a word
it's the sun
bathing everything is its light
or the tiny
fish in the darkest
cave
like the hand that
helps you up
then the butterfly
that flits away
the lilting notes
carry me on my
journey to the stars
and it lifts me
up
