The music in my head
keeps repeating
lulls me into a calm
plays piano
that tinkles into
the day with a
drowsy sway
The thrum in my chest
the music of my heart
beats me on to play
pushes energy strings
vibrating over yet
sets a smooth rhythm
to get me through the day
But the music in my soul
keeps me still as stone
hoarding me in
the precious gem of
essential human notes
half-notes that lay
groundwork for all days
