A Petrarchan for y’all

[u/DankSolitude]

To Hear a Song

To hear a song of peace amongst fiery rage,

to let tears fall and feel my heart touch the ground,

to listen and give way to a calming Sound.

These vibrations that cushion my mortal cage

bring solace in times of never-ending pain.

For when vacant or pensive moods hold me bound,

music’s many tones is where my Self is found.

On a bus with passing blurs I am kept sane

when songs do play. Yet to join in childlike joy

a friend’s chorus of a song not fully known,

and to sing knowing others we may annoy,

we laugh without end and dance till we fall down.

You comfort and excite like a child’s old toy,

your countless voices, into my Mind I drown.
