…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, going 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
