Music is a Sage

Music is a Sage

A Poem by Melanie Genevieve
"

This is for my very good friend Sage Gabrielle :) Inspired by the great fireworks we saw today in rockville center

"
you play that trombone 
sing the song with me 
as we orchestrate our happiness
let us count the beats between fireworks
1
2
3
turn summer into our favorite game
musical hide and seek 

BOOM (there you are)

lighting up again
let your troubles dissolve
into the night sky
if only for a moment

our songs that we share
happy sad or in-between
will teach us through our lives
what it means to truly be

you know music is a sage
and every sun must set
but there's one thing you must never forget

that your song was always meant
to end on a high note

I think it can be safely said that music and poetry are not far from each other...you've brought that principle to life wonderfully here, in the way the sounds around you become the poem itself...an upbeat and enjoyable read...great work :)
