Lyrical Lyre
The lyre, I consider thee
Elegant energy
Gentle sweet melody
Lilting free, part of me
Genuine spirit-sound
Green like the forest ground
Granting peace where it’s found
Silent tree when it’s downed
Dainty notes drawn from a string
Daring passerby to sing
Deftly dulling sharpened speech
Ascending instrumental reach
Every song elevates
Meaning, it orchestrates
Emphasis, effervates
Emptiness, as it takes
Effort to wake in us
Feelings, to make of us
Beings who only trust
In our emotions, just
Carefully consider how
The consequence of turning down
A catchy chorus makes a town
Turn from smiles all to frowns
Give no witness
but to song
And please, for Goddess’ sake
sing along
