    Is the music of the soul the song of the wind?

    Is the music of the soul the song of the wind,

    Or the discordant beat of my heart?

    Is the ever present gaze, watching wistfully,

    A beautiful truth or just a wish?

     

    Is the want, a shroud for something deeper,

    Or is it just the lust of two minds met?

    When I loose my way, is it in you,

    Or in the idea, the illusion we share?

     

    Can the Mesmer ever be realised,

    Does this most ardent of verses, elude

    To anything more than a shattered and

    Poorly re-built farce?

     

    I thought I knew the truth once,

    Thought I understood, but now,

    The uncertainty and wavering light,

    Make me wonder and doubt.

    A thousand thanks! They say a poem may only ever be as good as that which inspired it, so I must be humbly grateful to the beauty and mysticism of love. I haven't see the movie you mentioned I am afraid to say. Thank you for your comment. Narrator.

    You use good poetic wording here. Makes the mind wander. Perhaps realizations will give birth to new realizations. Perhaps the truth is a stream that stretches endless both ways. I like how this poem journeys my mind. Enjoyed the read.

    Thank you very much! Certainly truth is fluid and never seems to flow in a straight line...

    Thank you for reading!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
