ToThePoem - a place for poetry

It is the music I hear From the depth of my soul. You are singing there And the sound is of all the colors in existence. Glorious and in balance. The bells, the strings. Horns. Percussion. I hear a drum slapping. It creates beautiful waves in space. The heavens laugh and Turn on their belly And do not feel frightened by it. Do not care as to when they will Turn back around.
