Note: No, this poem isn’t exactly on faith, and neither is it directly related to nature, at least in the way we might normally think. And yet there is a natural, and amazingly supernatural, power that music brings. A gift from God that forges emotional connections on the chords of our hearts like nothing else can.
An old poem I wrote in 2020, it came to mind last night as I spent some time on my guitar, and I felt like it was just the thing I should share with you today. I hope you enjoy!
Slips into your ears, your soul and it meet. Every part of you vibrates to the beat, Beat, beat, that seems to beat on your heart's drum. An invisible player, its fingers strum, Touching the strings of your being - You're taken. Emotions rise and a journey begins. It has a power that leads and sucks you in. It tingles notes that enamor and call, And thrills you with its dramatic rise and fall. Soothes, agitates, depresses, lifts - What is it? Caresses the child, lulls him to sleep, Wakes the patriots, inspires the battle sweep. Carries you on its wings to unknown heights; It feels, relates, and brings tears that blur your sight. There's something powerful in it - In music.
Beautiful ❤️
