Smooth Rhythm

Smooth texture on the piano key.

Soft sounds of a beautiful melody.

The choir gowns have the texture of lace.

The soft words sang from her adoring face,

The softness of the baritone.

Unique sounds while I quietly sit alone.

Smooth treble clefs drawn on the scale,

Magical mysteries of a fairytale,

It sounds so soft and yet relaxing to be heard,

I need the Henrique sounds of a hummingbird,

Clay smooth base from the drums as they beat.

Ticklish feelings came across my feet.

Once the music was trialled and combined,

Sensations so soft ran down my spine,

The clarinet sparkles a smooth gold,

Yet the saxophone is tender to hold,

The rhythm of the song smoothly begins,

Sensations soft smoothing tones win.

Smoothing music helps us to disappear,

To a time of only beauty, we will hear,

inspirational
