Evolution of Music
By Mark Gooch

Emotion released on a tapestry

Through colors rich in tones

Chaining of notes as

Instruments display their souls

Minstrels of lost love, hero’s deeds,

And lust for gold.

Royalty of ages

Mankind’s chosen few

King of Rock and Roll

And Queen of Soul

Evolved over time

Invoking a dance or

The tapping of toes.

Even so

They do not compare

With the wind’s flute-like serenade

In harmony with the cascading stream

Blanketed with a veil of pure

And pristine fallen snow.
