Preserve the Music

Preserve the Music

Echoes reverberate across the planet -
love songs rise to meet the light of distant stars
flickering though atmospheric tides of oxygen.

We sing our faith and our fears,
we are the lovers loving only the moment
the music rises from our souls.

If we lose the melody in our pursuit of wealth
or ego’s desire for power
who will sing our songs or write our odes.

Preserve the song that rises
out of our spirit’s desire to live
eternally singing the words inscribed
on the tablets of our lives.
