Listening to Music

Images created in your mind as you listen to music.

LISTENING TO MUSIC

I heard a garden fountain play and dreamed of sunny hours
Mid fragrances and colors of many kinds of flowers.
A hummer in the holly hocks, a bumble bee among the phlox.

I heard the sounds of foreign ports and in a distant bay
There rose the masts of many ships, the seagulls cried at play
The creaking mast and curving sail, I heard them through a whistling gale.

I heard the lofty heavens call and longed for windy skies!
I heard the voice of freedom shout from blue eternities
I spread my wings, to find somewhere the dark-blue zenith of the air.
