 What Ties The Two Arts  

Someday dear and near, I’ll name the twosome,

and that day, my attitude will reach an altitude

where the amplitude of spirits will tap in a concert

and a wild world of wholesome melodies and words.

There is a symmetry that taunts a cemetery of ennui.

 

People perform and are preoccupied with them.

What binds the two also distinguishes them

from other cultural artifacts like portraits.

Both have a flair for arousing a profundity

of emotions, feelings, notions and thoughts.

At their core there is a commonality, an image,

a community of consumers, of eyes and ears,

a sanctuary for cultures, leisure and theatre.

 

The two art forms enable artists to spin yarns,

to invoke and  simulate the social world or sites.

Both arts are of an aural and temporal nature.

If one sways through sound, the other reigns

by way of a symphony of words and inferences.

 

There is a concert, a choreography of language

as if it were an absolute rhapsody and comedy.

Someday dear and near, I’ll ask music and word

to rave and fortify each other, to tell a tale of life.
