Music keeps me sane

One of my earliest memories is writing a love note to my dear mother complimenting her beauty and begging her not to send me to school. I wanted to stay home with her forever and play. She kissed me, put the note on the fridge and read my favorite story, but the next morning, she escorted my crying little body to the spot where the gigantic yellow school bus collected kids. Of all the different styles of writing I’ve done over the years, (song lyrics, fiction, non fiction, etc.) my favorite is poetry. In honor of National Poetry Month, I’m sharing one of my poems titled “Music keeps me sane” with you. One love… Aria

Music keeps me sane

Ascending above the mundane

Music elevates educates

Listen and levitate

Jazz Pop Opera

Country classic rock

Sitting on the dock

Rhythms blue melodies

Musicals and comedies

Watching the blues

Six o’clock news

Not the good BB blues

Bad dissonant short fuses

Nasty negative energy

I need positive synergy

Sounds and musical vibrations

Vital parts of creation

No note is in vain

Music keeps me sane
