"My Song"

HEATHER HASSENPLUG

 

The only way to share the burdens of
your soul. The way it makes you feel your heart
beat in a crowded hall while floating above
the screaming throngs. The beauty of the art
of song cannot be sung in scores alone.
The beauty of the song is yours to own.

Your heart can only know the tune your meek
soul needs to hear. The notes can help the words
to sing, and words can bring the notes to speak
to anyone who hears. The song is heard
by anyone who needs to feel the touch
of feelings that to all can mean so much.

The inspiration comes to you who feel
the need to know the song that makes you real.
