Speaking Music

A Poem by Jeremy Price

Let me share with you a thought
Without saying a word
Journey with me into my being
Close your eyes and see
Lend your heart to me

Not an absence of understanding
But a presence of truth
A pure form of meaningful insight
Everything as it should be
Able to be set free

Gravitate towards this feeling
Not like a moth to a flame
But as a mother to her child
The tune is played in "D"
Rediscover beauty with me

Cast off your inhibitions
Doubt, fear, pain, sadness, hate
Changing the world with six strings
Through my hands it flows from me
Channeling the boundless, infinite energy

Experience the subtleties of the movements
Like feeling warmth for the first time
Vibrations that speak to the soul
Share your dreams with me
Let me hold you softly

The beauty residing within you
It echoes and radiates through me
Bask in the rays of true expression
Shed your mortal coil, be free
Enter the realms of possibility

It's more precious than wealth
Priceless, like borrowed time
Cradle it in your arms with care
Cause and effect of duality
Step into immortality

The moments together we've shared
Etched in memory like stone
I'll play this in remembrance
The tears continue streaming from me
What was once felt reigns endlessly

Very nice poem. I love feeling of this piece. I am going to use it as an example in a theme portfolio project in English. My theme is self-expression. I hope that is ok with you. Message me if you have any questions about it or if you don't want me to use it. Great poem :)
