Music can thrum in your bones

Filling your world with song

Bringing a smile for all that is right

And bringing the tears for the wrong

I remember it well

How it instilled such wonder

Until the murder of my parents

Tore my world asunder

Now silent sings my heart

Lest I notice its tune

And I stand there alone

In the centre of the room

Amidst wallpaper tears

And the shadows that loom

And the cracks in the plaster

Like a festering wound

If I close my eyes and my mind

With an effort of will

All the songs of my youth

Whisper to me still

Music. It can sweep you away with the lyrics of a song, or the beat or melody of the tune. I listen to, and always have, music all the time.  I have multiple Amazon Echoes, so music can fill my house if I choose. I love going to concerts and am delighted my youngest daughter is now having piano and singing lessons (she's forever singing).

This is my entry into week 2 of the 4th Annual Biggest Competition Ever. The prompt was to choose one of two pictures and write a poem from its inspiration. I had to select the one that, though the room was in need of TLC, had a musical bent. I hope you like it.
