Poem
Change of Heart tackles the trend with double entendre and harp.
In the central are of the city full of lights, Where phenomena such as rivers, flow fast and slow,
Among the echoes there is heard, a harp’s sweet song, soft stories where several people come into possession of a heart.
Fashion is fleeting, fame fleeting as whelm, but here in this whirling dizziness is everything we know to prize.
However there does begin a voice, somewhere deep, Softly, singing Change of heart.
From local papers’ shouting headlines to murmurings in the corridors of power, compromise-formed trends that appear one day and disappear the other.
Strings vibrate in a harp, information delivers, A music of variation of heart.
Where tech is people’s talk, a world away, However, do we see the human heart?
A twit, status update, a moment fragment, However, the harp is a symbol of appealing to change the mind.
Thus, in communication glamor, art, we play our roles, everybody gets a role.
But internal notes we have, ignite, indeed, it is a masterpiece of rhythm expressing each heart’s note.
The latest thing that came up, the fleeting dart, but we stand and dance and sing our song We do it all
But always overshadowed and yet pervasive, deep and crystal clear, A harp’s song is change of heart.
In every trend the last start is, the harp’s refrain, however, does convey that.
A reminder, that was not so unfriendly, a manner reminder that essentially means the start afresh, Recalling true heart’s art that is a reminder and an ornament for the world.
When it comes to the conception of styles and visibility of cultures, sweetly sings the harp, and it does not tire,
It recalls us to it, to where we are, exhales back to us, to where we return, to listen before speaking, and to understand with the mind as well as with the heart.
