MUSIC



What is music?
Has anybody given a thought?
A writer’s words
Or a lover’s ballad
A mother’s lullaby
Or a child’s cry

What is music?
Can anybody tell me?
The beauty of resonance
Or the voice of hatred
A maiden’s dream
Or the victory song

What is music?
As I wonder
A tribute to the martyrs
Or the dancing tunes
Prayer to the God
Or the bustling traffic sounds

Music
As I listen
I think
What is music?

DUDE!
The last two poems were good. But this one is of another class man!
No kidding. This one's the best of the lot, and I know it would be the best poem you ever wrote for a long time!
No kidding man.
This is what I call poetry. Great work. Such simple words, yet such heavy emotions...
Grand work.
Not just saying it, this one's the best poem I've read since a long long time...
