Music to me
Is sound in a key,
A series of letters A through G,
With harmony and melody.
Intervals, triads, and chords
With which I am never bored.
Major and minor scales,
The system that never fails,
Beautiful sound,
Through generations found.
A mirror of the human race,
Typically simpler than figured bass.
It’s easy to forget with what you’re dealing;
The strongest source of human feeling.

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by years of musical training, and while it is in sonnet format, it is also an ode to music.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
