music exists in time....but defies it......(another poem inspired by music, Sissel singing Puccini)
Through Song
She moves seasons
pulls the tides
births the moon and stars
She captures life
through song she tempers time
and we her prisoners

Beautiful poem. Just recently I happened to come across Sissel and a couple of her arias and I wondered where I had been all these years. It is nice to listen to her here and get to know her better. Your poem equals her artistry.

A great piece of music within itself. The voice in song is brought to a place inside the heart that is heavenly and captures our knowing inside its intonations. As Shakespeare would say: " If music be the food of love, play on,/ Give me excess of it that, surfeiting, / The appetite may sicken and so die./ That strain again, it had a dying fall./ O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound / That breathes upon a bank of violets,/ Stealing and giving odour./" You have capture much in only six line Sonya. A wonderful poem. a poet friend/ RH Peat

Yes, oh yes! You wrote of the power of music perfectly...I especially love “pulls the tides births the moon and stars” ... such a wonderful description of how it feels when we get carried away by a song, or a melody or a voice. Lovely, lovely write, thank you for posting!

Very well said dear friend! Yes, Music is the stream where our souls stir, and nothing we can do about it, we are prisoners of such bliss!!
