Ever universal in its scope <br />It touches here and touches there. <br />It gives pure joy and inspires hope <br />In the countless hearts everywhere. <br /> <br />Ah, music is captivating, <br />Arresting entwined emotions. <br />For music indeed is mystic— <br />Far more than simple devotion. <br /> <br />Music affects the whole being <br />Essentially one’s every part. <br />Thus every culture embraces <br />Such a heavenly-endowed art. <br />So enjoy to the soul’s content, <br />And there’ll be less time to lament. <br /> <br />© 2013<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/music-is-mystic/
