Poetry list

inside the music

inside the music
there is no time
and all time

art possesses us
uniquely and
takes us to
forever and
beyond within
where we are
possessed and held

here are the margins
and the centre
where the physical
is transcended
and transported
whilst inhabiting
each now and me
without it we
are empty
empty
of hope and spirit
of love and truth
for beauty is the
kiss of grace and
the touch of love

melt my senses
and my will
that its notes
and colour lines
and form may
take us all into
its giver’s heart
