Music in the Air

Blog 477:

As I sit by a clear-view pane of my window,
Music plays on the radio-
A dirge … a celebration …
It circles in the air
It wraps around me
And soothes my tottering nerves!

As I rest in the comfort of my bed,
Music plays on my mind-
A familiar tune of long ago
A lullaby … a patriotic march …
It circles in the air
It wraps around me
And cheers my solitary soul!
 
As I go about in my distant unrest,
Music plays at a mass funeral-
A melancholy song … a poignant recollection …
It circles in the air
It wraps around all
And mourns lives untimely lost!
