Safe Haven

Music is my safe haven-


by which I mean there

is nothing like music

to get me through a day;


by which I mean that the notes

on a page of music are words

that form a beautiful phrase

that makes the song into sentences;


by which I mean that the hits

on the drum

make my heart

stutter;


by which I mean that the trills

on the flute

make my eyes

flutter;


and by which I mean the fanfare

that is played by the brass

engages my mind and connects

my heart and my soul.


I mean that music is my safe haven,

The beat to my song, the soul to my being, and the heart to my life.


The author's comments:

This poem is about music being my safe haven.  It is where I feel the safest, when I play and when I listen to music (classical specifically). I play the flute and I'm a senior and planning on going into music education at college.
