Analysis of Power of Music
Joyce Macfee 1965 (Harrisburg)
Been up,
Went down,
Common ground
In you found.
Talking for hours,
Words vibrating
Through wires,
Until night expires.
Communicating
With sound,
Sharing a love
For music, profound.
Touched without
A hand,
Only lyrics,
From a band.
Filling the empty
Hole,
Content,
Our bitter soul.
Remoteness
Caressed by
Melodies played,
Bringing forth
Another day.
Aching in limbo
Wanting more,
On me your song,
Pour.
Ending
Too fast,
Intensity
Could not last.
As two souls
Drift away,
Joined forever,
Music played.
