The Gift Of Music [ 4 Tanka ] Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

Music is a gift
That adds color to our life
Soothes our hearts and souls
Refreshes and relaxes
Our tired and our weary minds

Life is dull, gloomy
Without the sound of music
That we hear around
It heals our wounded spirit
It softens our hardened heart

Everywhere we hear
The sound of music, floating
Carried by the wind
Played by nature's symphony
In the quietness of the day

The rustling of leaves
The gentle lapping of waves
The twitter of birds
Are the music of nature
A wonderful gift to life
