The Beauty Of Music Poem by Shalom Freedman

THE BEAUTY OF MUSIC

The beauty of music
Means more to me in feeling
Than I can understand-
I cannot explain how sharp and deep this music is-
My mind is too plain
Plain as death-

But the feeling
The feeling is so beyond so beautiful
So tinged with longing loneliness sadness
I cannot understand it
The beauty of music
Is feelings which go beyond my understanding
It pains me and brings me joy in longing
Beauty- I do not understand
