Untitled<br />

I listen to music<br />

I become<br />

A glider among the notes<br />

flying far above the troubles<br />

the worries of the mind<br />

a life where there is music<br />

a universal language only the heart speaks<br />

I am a dancer amidst<br />

the violin<br />

the clarinet<br />

the voice<br />

the emotion<br />

Dancing upon the moonlit sky<br />

there to compose<br />

a symphony<br />

I am the symphony<br />

I am the wonderment<br />

I am the dream<br />

the stars of excitement<br />

A moment of absolute serenity<br />

a piano of passion<br />

a chord of solitude<br />

surrounded only<br />

by the music<br />

of which composes me<br />

I am the music<br />

waiting<br />

alone<br />

dancing<br />

silently<br />

gliding<br />

far above<br />

Waiting for them to hear<br />

Orli Robin, Age 16<br />

<strong>My</strong> poetry reflects my passion, music. Listening to music allows me to step<br />

into another world and become the music. It is more than just an escape. It<br />

is a fantastic, marvelous reality.<br />
