…in my soul
You are the music in my soul
melodious and tuneful
lilting and light, uplifting
you raise my spirits
then drag them down
with unexpected
dramatic considerations
powerful expressions of emotion
drawing pain and pleasure
from secret places
you are a music box
you go around and around
in my mind in tinkled repetition
a precious captured melody
a moment in time, treasured
you have beauty of form
a complex composition
harmonious, desirable
you are bird song
lyrical, silver toned
the soundtrack of spring
of perfect days
an essential element
of the tapestry of time
you are the precious voice
of a distant mountain spring
dulcet, sweet and soothing
cooling, cleansing
and the music you bring
fills me up to overflowing
