I am so fortunate in my life,
Within my life I have so much
That pleases me
And takes me to another place,
A place of dreams, peace, love and beauty.
The words of poets written on the page
Can send shivers down my spine,
Or laughter through my body.
Such words can bring so many feelings
As their words enthral my inner being.
I can stand in front of an artwork
And see so many things within it.
In some pieces I become part,
Part of the painting
Where the artist pulls me into their being.
The sound takes me to a special place
When the music surrounds me,
And has surrounded me all my long life.
Every day I seem to find new music
That takes me to another place
Where life is so wonderful.
I am so lucky in my life
I have poetry, art and music.
Within it
There is so much of it to be seen and heard
And to my mind,
So little time to absorb it.
Then there is the unanswerable question,
Which is the greater,
Poetry, art or music?
