THE SOFTEST OF SOUNDS

The softest sounds come from the heart

Where nothing can tear that apart

The sweet, sweet rhythms of a heart beat

The flow of energy, flowing gently

Very much like the ebony and ivory

Of the piano chords

The highs that sound like a whisper

The pounding beat of the low notes

Base drums beating with all that is

Sounding out the rhythms for the ballerina

Tap, tap, tip, tip toeing

Flowing, curving, rolling

The elegance, the grace

So fluent, so self-assured

So self-confident, so self-possessed

The tune, the melody

Striking a balance

For us to swing to
