MUSIC FOR THE SOUL

It is said that music has charms

That can soothe the most savage beast—

The music that was played in last night’s concert

Was so exquisitely beautiful to me

That I drifted off into the air above my chair,

And was still there as that last note

Slowly trailed away into the jeweled night.

The total silence shocked open my eyes

And I found myself on the edge of my chair

With not one sign of having ever left the seat.
