Ever heard a song so soft, that it grazes past your soul.
Ever heard a tune so raw, cookie crumbs turn into Coal.
Ever heard a song that turned a tear into waves of waterfalls.
Ever heard a harmony that made your goose bumps cry and crawl.
A song that sings so deeply, making your heart feel weak.
A song that wraps and hugs you in, warmth and love you seek.
A song that echoes a story, into a deep deserted stream,
A song that mimics a life you’ve had, reflects your self esteem.
Have you ever heard a piece music, that makes you feel at home.
Have you ever felt the sound of abandonment, a song of being alone.
Have you ever heard a piece of music, that beams with lust and power.
Have you ever sobbed to heart ache music, while draping in the shower.
Have you ever sang a song of desperation, have you ever sang for hope.
Have you ever listened to a song, while falling down a self destructing slope.
Have you ever been uplifted, by funky music grooving.
Have you ever drifted off to sleep to music, rhythmic and soothing.
Have you ever felt pure connection, to music that is raw.
Has music ever helped you close, an old harrowing door.
Have you ever felt a piece of music, so deeply in your heart.
Have you ever sang a song of hope, desperate for fresh starts.
Music swims throughout our life, like a fish jetting through the ocean.
Music imprints like a sharp knife, triggers intense heartfelt emotion.
Music survives just like us, it strives and thrives for attention
But most of all, music faces feelings that us humans forget to mention.
Music provokes and generates a truth, that we sometimes hate to see.
Music empowers. Allows our hearts to conquer and be free.
Music builds us. Makes us strong. Teaches no Sacrifice.
Music is ruthless it gifts us strength and could save a thousand lives.

- Comment from author about the poem: Greetings!- This poem response provoking. I'd love to hear what pieces of music make you feel emotion. It might be an instrumental, a song in the charts a song YOU wrote... Share it with me, and how you feel, I'm interested! - I love the greatest showman soundtrack because it's so empowering and positive, it is full of important messages. This song always makes me overwhelmed and emotional, I guess I can relate to it. Feedback is always welcome & appreciated! Peace and love to all ~E

Yes to all that you ask and music is the essence of our expression in this existence.
Hell yes it is! I’m glad you relate ~E
If not for music I'd not be here or would of gone down a even worse road than it did.
Well I for one, am really glad music supported you to be here today. ~ E
Music does stir emotions and we drink it up !Loved this.
I’ve sobbed at instrumentals that triggered sad emotions in me before! It’s mind blowing what music can achieve! - thanks for the kind words as always. ~E

Yes- people are moved to tears when I sing too - out of torment and horror, that is! They think it's cats fighting - meoowwooo! heehee.
Hahahaha!
When i was a performing musician/singer a piece of music i learned with a view to performance changed from a work of art and emotion into a discipline. Thereby robbing me of the enjoyment of its beauty but also enriching me by allowing me to feel an audiences response to the piece.
Some pieces i refuse to learn, i dont want to be robbed of their emotion.
You have written well today and i agree with everything you write.
wow that's actually really interesting! Sad that you lost emotion of some music but you're right to make sure thats not the case for all music! Thank you very much! ~E
Yes I have heard all these types of music, I have been listening to music for over sixty years and there are so many pieces of music that move me. Just look back at some of my poems on here to see what I mean.
So much music, so little time.
sixty years of music... wow what a privilege to have! I'll check your work out, thank you. ~E
