Poetry and Fiction are wonderful ways to tell a
story, convey a message, put your feelings into words, or memorialize someone
or something. As a writer, take advantage of both options and speak your mind,
tell great stories, and let the world know what’s
on your mind. You’ll be amazed at how many people out there are listening as
you talk, talk and talk some more – So speak from your heart, through your Poetry
and Fiction, and entertain others with your words.
Let me tell you a story about a man
I once knew back in the 1980’s. He was an Elementary School teacher, and a
musician as well. A very passionate man, who cared deeply for his students and
always carried a song within his heart. He gave his students the gift of music,
as they played in a school orchestra under his teaching and his direction. They
too learned to carry a song within their hearts, and perhaps today they are
still doing that. Perhaps today they are sharing their music and talent with an
entire universe. If so, I’m sure they recall with fondness, their dedicated
teacher who created this “magic” in their world…He is the one and
only “Music
Man”. So let me tell the story further through this short poem below.
THE MUSIC MAN
He
stands erect, his hands unfold
He holds them in the air
And
with a sigh, he proudly smiles
While the children up and stare
They
prepare to play a song with ease
His wish is their command
They
raise their violins up high
Responding to his hand
The
melodies begin to fill
the dark and silent halls
With
harmonies that vibrate
against the white-washed walls
This
mix of “dulcet symphony”
reveals the wonder of his plan - -
(to give the children power)
of the “Music Man”
