Deep within my soul
there flows a faithful song
it started as a child
like a friend it tagged along
Whispers in the leaves
and echoes in my head
lingers in heart’s dreams
where daily it was fed
Growing like the falls
music’s river rushes on
deep within my soul
there flows a faithful song
“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent”

I wonder what song your poetry might sing…

Wow ! Leslie I love this poem. I wonder how these words would sound if they were used as the lyrics of a song. I’m sure it would get a lot of hits. 🙂

SOunds like there is a touch of nature in your veins.
I wonder has the song stayed consistent all through your life or has it changed?
I wonder if it is the same song and just changes pitch at times.

It has always run through my veins but the song changes. I’ve had my run on stage, in a band and now more behind the scenes as one of my kids takes to the stage.

How much more deeply do we show our emotions but with a song, whether it be joy or sadness we say words are not enough I must bare my soul. This really is so beautiful.

You’ve captured something of the recognition of our own ‘individual song’ that starts in childhood, and if we do the work of listening to who we are, is a song that stays with us on our life journey. Great lines.

The faithful song has to nurtured with love and tender care. That is true Moonie! Only then it will be a worthy partner in life!
