When a duke box plays selected tunes
Filling each corner of the room
Reaching hearts
Activating the mind
Its Just like the poet
Composing rhymes
Selected words
Though absent sound
Touches the heart
Some lost some found
Just like the song minds can't erase
So it is with a poem
A line
A phrase
That reaches to our depths our core
Playing over
100 times or more
Poetry and music
Set the spirit free
They're the tools
Used in dark times
They allow us to see
Filling each corner of the room
Reaching hearts
Activating the mind
Its Just like the poet
Composing rhymes
Selected words
Though absent sound
Touches the heart
Some lost some found
Just like the song minds can't erase
So it is with a poem
A line
A phrase
That reaches to our depths our core
Playing over
100 times or more
Poetry and music
Set the spirit free
They're the tools
Used in dark times
They allow us to see
Poetry and music have a way of touching the human spirit in a way nothing else can when my sister was on life support I played her favourite songs n read my poetry until she woke up I believe they reached her and brought her back. Doctors agreed
