Melody River


Music flows through my soul-
Sometimes it trickles,
Sometimes it rolls;
Surges in and takes control.
It's waves that pound against rocky shoals.

Footsteps mark time on the pavement,
Hearts beat a rhythm and keep a wavelength,
Train on a track buss a rimshot,
With contrapunctal measures from the ticking clock.

Honking horns and blaring sirens
Add new harmonies and something from the winds.
Rumbling motors are the baseline
The music it moves through every aspect of my life.

In the sunshine 
Or in the grey rain,
The music courses through my body 
And pulses in my veins.

It weaves colourful tapestries 
I see when I close my eyes.
Just when I think I've learnt the melodies,
It unveils a fresh surprise.

Don't matter where I am
Under moon or in brightest day,
I tune out the humdrum 
And just let the music play.

Free from leaden inhibition
I revel in the tuneful spray;
Awash in this melodic rhythm,
I let go and start to sway.
