Rhythm Rhyme and Harmony

A poem.

Rhythm rhyme and harmony
Aren’t just in songs.
There’s a harmony in words.
How they go together
Like music notes go together.
High
Middle
And low
The tones blend
And soar
Blend and dip
Blend and take you on a journey
That a single note can’t achieve
A different flavor
Different texture
Different feel.
Fuller than a single note.
Sometimes the solo notes
Are haunting
And the nakedness invokes feelings
That a tight group cannot convey.
Solo
Alone
Lonely
Plaintive
Telling a story
One note at a time
No embellishment
No other voices are needed
The solo note
Pierces the listener’s heart
Brings you on a journey
That can only be achieved
Alone.
Rhythm
Rhyme
Harmony
Melody
Lyrical
Sing song
Musical
Words can do that
Black ink on a white page
Creating a song in your heart.
Silently
Singing in your head.
