Favorite Quote:
“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have.”


The dusty instrument,
Pay no heed,
For the sound hangs in the air;
The clear melody of a piano,
Playing the music;
The music of my life.

The music,
Washes over me,
Lifts my feet off the ground,
I forget reality,
Only seeing the skies
In which to fly.

Feels like a glass of cold water,
But also a warm cookie,
Revitalizing but bringing me
Back to my daydreams.

But sound fades and only earth remains,
With music in my mind fading like shadows.


The author's comments:
I compose music...often I get very into it, and at the end I sometimes feel revitalized. Other times, it puts me into a daze. Yet others, I simply become frustrated. This poem illustrated my relationship with the music...in my mind.
