Your Own Music
by
Diane Klammer
(for Ken)
Sing to the heartbeat
Of your own music
Either as a solo performer
Or part of a duet
A large chorus
Step to the heartbeat
Of your own music
Either as a lone dancer
A couple
Part of a group
Play to the heartbeat
Of your own music
Give it your all
Unite it with the rhythm
Of your dear friends
You play a different tune
Hear a unique song
Your music sometimes whispers
To unfold alone
To be heard in solitude
Your music may be a song unsung
Pleading to be made
Begging to be played
To be shouted out
As glorious noise
Uniting with the laughter of a thousand voices
Your music can quietly invite
The touch of a gentle hand
The voice of a caring friend
The beauty of your music
Can be manifested in love
As the beauty of your song
Resounding as your shared miracle
