There's music in my heart, a forlorn melody, Music that wants to sing, music that wants to cry, Music for the organ, symphony, rhapsody… And I can't give it birth, no matter how I try. There are poems in my heart, words that sing and laugh, But when I cast them onto paper, in black ink, They just seem to turn into useless empty gaffe, Like heavy stones cast on water, ready to sink. There's a landscape in my heart… beautiful meadow, With sunshine, green grass and flowers swaying gently… But when I want to paint it, a deep dark shadow Is cast all over it, brutally, abruptly. There is love in my heart, a gently soothing love, For all the sins of this world ready to atone, But when I release it to fly, soar like a dove… There is nothing in my heart… just a heavy stone…. © P J Oszmann (2006) [Reworked from an unfinished sketch in Hungarian of ca. 1951] © Illustration created in Photoshop (2006)

As the others, I feel the apparent sadness here, but I also find a strong sense of hope and wanting to ascend, indeed, "transcend" the heavy layers smothering the spirit.

This is sad, but at the same time, I think most of us could relate to trying to find a way to say things within our hearts but not finding enough words or the right ones. REst assured, though, there is music in your heart and we all are the lucky ones because we hear it. Blessings, my friend, Michelle

Feeling this a bit myself, Peter ... hits closer to home than I want. Just keep on keeping on: one day the sun will shine. I hope.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

There's a hard core of bitter existentialism here, crafted as always with skill and flow. As I read this, I'm trying to learn to play guitar at the ripe age of 51. So it's apposite in several ways for me right now.

Fine work, Peter.

I like this composition... "There's music in my heart…" passes through the four seasons of emotions to end as an ICEBERG.

I salute You, Poet.

In admiration,
