Harmony
The music is with us
From the arrival
To the departure
As we dance into eternity
Tinkling and chirping
We skip into this world
With rattles, and bells and laughter
The Punch and Judy seaside song
Playing to little people, tiny tots
Stripy holidays and blue sunshine
Cranky days of rock and roll
Pals, mates and teeny-boppers
Thundering down the highway
Far and away dust motes of romance dance
As Chopin’s waltz unfolds
In an elegant room
While further South the hot sun sings
To the chirpy tune of the cicadas
Their repetitive refrain
Full of heated promise
At the moment of departure
From this world to the next
Chords of colour and harmony
Weave a mysterious music
Unheard by the human ear
It is this music
That plays right now
Loud or silent
It is always with us
And everyone
Everyone
Has a symphony
That celebrates their life
Their entrance and their exit
