"Peace," A Poetry Post

Go on and have
peace
about your
situation.

The piece of work
that we all
know
Beethoven for
was written
after his
finest hours
were
done.

He had to put his
ear against the
instrument to
make sense
of the sounds.

I bet he wondered
if we
would ever hear
the beauty
of the symphony
in his head.

I bet he cried
out in
frustration.

I bet he
cussed and
swore.

I bet he
felt
worthless.

Yet
even as a
deaf man,
he
created
music
that has
changed
the sound of
humanity
forever.

-T. D. James-Moss
