Music Is Breath Of Life For Life Artists

those in music for the long haul
are chime web symphony enchanted
because music is an inseparable

part of their intrinsic soul giving being
music is a timeless passion when you feel
reference kiwi artists Tim Finn, Dave Dobbyn

music is breath of life for life artists
music is timeless music which addresses
scale entrapment felt human conditions...

who we are where we are our societies
perceptions of our societies our realities
thinking mind does not outgrow curiosities

interactive sing gifted perceptions
music transforms through generations
insight life quickened mind survives

gift love artistically giving survives
survives immortal ravage time tests
music is breath of life for life artists...

Poet's Notes about The Poem

Inspired by an interview comment to being in music for the long haul, by New Zealand singer Bic Runga. The original artists I referenced in a reply were life time artists Elton John and Rod Stewart; but then I realized it was necessary to reference and plug legendary kiwi life artists Tim Finn and Dave Dobbyn, because most are not blessed with knowledge of the depth and creative diversity of the unique New Zealand music scene.
