Music, My Life

Music,
like a drifting cloud,
it comforts me.

It's melodious words
ring through my eager ears,
dancing,
round and round inside my head.

It carries my doubts,
my pains.
Lifts them from my aching shoulders.
Leaving me,
light as a downy feather.

Music,
like my quiet breathing,
it's part of my life.
It's rhythm is my heart beat
pumping within my veins
keeping me alive,
day after day.

Music,
it's my life
