Living in Music (by Nabila Basri)
Music is the melody inside your heart
Music is the harmony inside your soul
Everyone wants to be a part
A part of the musical soul
Express your feelings with words
They will turn out to great lyrics
Oh, the sound of the birds
They would not sound like a T-rex
Humming all the tunes of the song
Live it all you dream
It will last really long
They will taste a lot like ice-cream
Whenever you hear sounds
It is called music
If Gathering water to rain is the hobby of clouds
Then musicians’ job is making a lyric
Music makes a beautiful soul
It makes all of you cry with tears
We all want to try to bowl
Let’s make a song with our peers
Music is everywhere
This day has inspired me
To make crafty music
Anywhere, even under a tree
The dolphins trying to speak Their sounds are a fanatic They sound really great And it makes you a special person
Now you know that music is beautiful
You live in music
There is no other way to live
So music is everywhere
It lives just like us

Yes, she is 10 years old. I just showed her the posting tonight. I regret not to ask for her permission. She told me that she got inspiration from Baudelaire’s Selected Poems.

Dear Nabila,
Of course I want to read more poems from you. You write much better than any 10 years old girl I know (even better than most grown-up American!). I’m not saying this to make you feel better. It’s my field, because I’m taking poetry class at Arizona State University. So, feel free to send me your writing. I’m honored to read them.
Take care,
Uly Siregar
