The Music is You



Photograph by Dianne Woods





If down beat were a butterfly
you'd be jazz
fluttering about.

If music were a river
you'd be a little fish
darting among the rocks.

If song were a forest path
you'd be a doe
wide-eyed in wonder.

If melody were a memory
you’d be a specter
haunting lonely dreams.

If the soloist were a painter
you’d be a sunset
of fading blue love and golden sadness.

If instruments were the voice of the heart
you’d be a golden harp
that sang to angels.

If orchestras were grand mountains
you would be the view from on high
that goes on forever.
