'Shards'

When somebody sends you a song,
They send you a shard of their soul.

They tell you:
Which sounds set their scalp ablaze
Or makes their fingertips cold

They tell you:
A direction their heart wants to take
A problem that they need to solve

They tell you:
A sense of a world they want back
Until a chord is resolved

But then ask:
Is it musical Poetry that heals the heart

Or the beautiful nature of Noise?
