  A Hymn of Praise

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(7 votes)



  The keys and staves demark strait paths
The restless note must travel on;
The note's the beast that carries
The burden of the sound.

Music evokes a sympathy
In willing heart, the symbol of
A presence, constantly descending,
White wings of endless love.

A lovely hymn to a charming lady. Poetry like music seals connections that can be made in no other way.

Very nice link between “music” and “sympathy”. I immediately think of “symphony”.
Music has many voices. I will have to think more about what is said to divulge the deeper meanings of all that is said.

Another beauty, Will, this poem... Music that speaks to us is a kind of heaven - 'a presence, constantly descending'. Thank you for this. Esther : ]
