The Message in the Music

Vibrations resonate today,
my aching hollow chest to fill
with music-mated soul someday.

To Mahler’s fifth I hum and sway,
it’s bleak, crescendoed rise does chill.
Vibrations resonate today.

On window glass, my fingers splay,
pulses of intuition trill,
with music-mated soul someday.

The touch shears sheath of heart away,
tears from my eyes begin to spill.
Vibrations resonate today.

The melancholy presto spray
inspires me to share inked quill
with music-mated soul someday.

I mold the letters in my way
to form a link of naught but will.
Vibrations resonate today
with music-mated soul someday.
