RIVERWOODS POEMS: MUSIC HATH CHARMS

MUSIC HATH CHARMS

 (Inspired by the British boys’ choir Libra)

Making music is among

The least pernicious things

We humans know how to achieve.

Children’s voices raised in song

Touch our hearts with melody,

Rid us of self-centered sophistry,

Soothe our savage propensities,

Angelicize our bestiality.

While we sing we feel no greed.

No self loathing possesses us.

Conniving envy passes us by.

With ears attuned to harmony,

We open ourselves to beauty.

There’s love-light in our eyes.
