When rainy days fall

And the music breathes

Holding my heart

Along lyrics and chords

The shiver of poetry

Once it has begun to dance

A freedom like flight

A moment of living

As a winged creature

Slipping across the floor

And out of this world

Reality dimmed into

Dreamy lighting

And flickering candles

A softer worldview

Than unapologetic silence

The melody comforts me

In its sorrow and pathos

Speaking a language

Meant for my ears

And my spirit

When the rainy days fall

And the music

Is the life cast

Into endless crescendo ~ Caroline A. Slee
