Called Images

I find myself falling at times . . .

Falling into the music and images
That search for my words

From within the music ...
Comes the vision
Of what should be placed
To write its story

Music brings to the heart
Pictures of
Sorrow ... Joy ... Longing

Its message depending upon
What the muse is willing
To see and hear as it speaks

Behind this vision?

The music seems to play
A sadness and yet ...

The multiple emotions
Of its strains
If listened to with the heart
Seems to tell a story

A story
That cannot quite be heard
Or seen and will wait
For another day to be told

To this poet's pen it now speaks
To become for the time
Of this reading
A part of the heart that
Writes these words

The muse calls
To come this night before the page
With no true story to tell

Words given in
Bits and pieces to be placed

And yet ....
The music calls

A different form of calling
Than Shakespeare ever experienced

Music has always played to the
Heart of true poet

As images dance within the mind
The music gives them life
And both find their way
To poet's pen and blank poeting page

The question posed
Within todays poet's heart

Is this poetry

Or . . .

Is this nothing more
Than some music
That plays behind a few
Well chosen words

What could we have experienced
Of the true 'Masters'
Had they had what is available
To ourselves today

Sweet music and illustration
To complete their vision
From the windows of their souls

The greatest books of poetry
Void of illustration
And certainly of music
And yet ...
