A Poetry Note to Dry My Tear

How multiple sclerosis gave me strength and became my best friend through music.
Through suffering, I have looked my dream in the face and found music and poetry, the magic world of fantasy. With MS, I have discovered the beauty of life

Music
is my soul’s world.
I close my eyes and
a thousand music notes
accompany my thoughts
flying far away
like a seagull
baring its
freedom.
Those wings take it
into the horizon,
and it is free.
I see the waves of the sea
breaking onto the rocks,
I see the sunset
colour the world red,
a world turning
in endless spaces
of the Universe,
a world that dies
if you don’t listen to its
soul.
Nature is the soul
*of the world.*Its colours, its sound
is music.
The breath of the wind,
of the sea, of a stream
is music.
The weeping of a child
is music.
Listen to it,
you will be able to
understand
even its thoughts,
and you will learn to love
the music that is
inside and outside
of us.
A key is dropped from
someone’s hand
because they might be looking for you to open
their soul
and understand.
