The Melodies Of Life Poem by Jocelyn Dunbar

The deep substance of things given life itself,
Emotion drew smoothly flowing into the sense
Of any particular individual. The drama of
Life passing by, softly and rich, sweet and
Sour creates a system for the sound mind.

The music comes from thoughts and grows to the emotion
That makes a heart overflow with so much sensation.
Music touches feeling lingering in memory.

The mystery of melodies continues to move,
To the sound mind. The essence sense of silence that
Manifest the wonder and beauty of life.
