Looking forward to seeing her wonderful poem represented in Film!

Lost in Sound

Find me in the silence

In the space without sound

Where the music it soars

And the orchestra pounds

When the violins play

And the piano keys ring

My heart sings with glory

At the sound of the strings

Find me lost in the chords

My voice in the tone

See me dance to the beat

With my soul in its zone

Hear the pumping of blood

And the sound of our feet

As the music it builds

And crashes complete

Eyla Lienhard
