October 2007 Theme ~ "Music"

Cement Angel

Flopping down on the bed,
Musical notes fill my head,
The song bounces off the walls,
It’s the music that I adore,

All about a little girl,
Who’s mother didn’t like her,
It’s a song I treasure within my heart,
A song of sadness, pain and hate,

A mothers love, never shown
A little boy who lived next door,
Was the only friend the girl had,
Until one day they where caught,

Her mother yelled “you should be in bed!”
The little girl’s fear was fed,
Her mother raised her hand above,
Slapped the girl, one last time.

The little boy watched on from his window,
As the girls screams filled the night
His heart was broken as he listened,
As the little girls life was lost.

Music: Life's Soul

Wafting through my senses is a melody of the senses
Soft and low pulling at my emotions
Each note a harbinger of the response to come
My heart cries out with the words that mingle into the soul
Each one played in perfect time, a treasure of the mind
Music is my soul's fervent prayer
It is not truly there for me to listen
It is the life and breath of my soul
Not just one particular genre
Music comes from far and near
Each one a blessing to my ear
