The Poet

Music

I am the beat of your heart,

The quiet before the storm.

I am the last slow dance and the song on the radio.

The sound of the leaves rustling in the wind,

The birds and the frogs.

I am hope and peace and love

I am the unspoken rhythm of life.

You see me and hear me and listen to my song.

I am the first and last thing you hear,

The beat of death,

And the melody of goodbyes.

I am the fiery tango,

And the slow waltz.

I am soft lullaby and the rush of traffic.

I am the words you speak and the love you give.

I am the music.

The beat of life,

And the sound of death.
