Fortified

Always have song present

The melodies of beauty to usher you

Through the monotony of life,

Crescendos to hold you through lows,

Melancholy sounds to remind you

In joy, that this is not yet home.

Music has lulled me

Invigorated this spirit,

Fortified my bones

When milk no longer could.

Harmonies even curlier than my hair

Have spun my heartbreak into epiphany.

Reminding that he speaks through all

If you only have ears to hear.

Always have song present

To comfort you when bothered

To bother you when comfortable.

The most beautiful sounds making sadness

Pulling tears from your eyes

To stretch into harp strings.

Always have song present

When you’ve canoes with no oars

And tusks with no boars

Rhythms yet unknown

Will guide your feet to safety.

– Vagabond Prophet
