Musical Mystique

The music is calling, and I must go
to play the emotion of each note.
From soaring legato
melodies
to the rendering of tight
harmonies
the music bends
and twists
and rolls
as it sweetly speaks
to a place in your soul.
Transcending barriers of language and text
it is music that calls beyond its own context
and takes the listener deep inside
to the place where all emotions abide.
Sometimes brassy and outright bold,
other times smooth like a river of gold.
It echoes, crescendos, dips, and lifts
as the Musician gives each note the gifts
of feeling and expression,
music speaks to the heart
which surpasses its stark manuscript,
the mystique of musical art.
