Woke up in the middle of the night and scribbled it down before I forgot it. Was half asleep and cleaned it up a little this morning.
I've had this thought running through my had for months now, just a kind of idea how many different ways we express emotions in what we produce. It began with a game I play, one of the random quotes you occasionally see is "Music is what feelings sound like" and this kind of went from there.
I've not written a poem in over 10 years, and even then it was you're average amateur poem. I'm actually quite proud of this one, I like the message it gives and it has a good feel and rhythm to it. Hope y'all enjoy it ^,^
I think the last time I wrote a poem was back in middle school; seventh grade or so. It's been a very long time so I am definitely not one to judge whether or not this is an amateur poem. You did rhyme in a nice way that isn't irritating though, it does have a little bit of flow to it. Though I'm tired and can't exactly say whether or not I relate to the words, but I do believe what they say has significant meaning to the arts.
The parchment does look a little burnt and worn from years. It's a rather interesting thing you did. I like it a lot. Don't usually see submissions like this.

Made some changes to it, having emotion used in almost every line seemed repetitive, so instead adjusted it so the message remains but it flows better. To get the original "soulfully" was "emotion" and "the heart" and "Feelings" used to be "emotions".
I also altered the layer mode for the text and branches so they seemed more part of the parchment than they did previously. I then duplicated the parchment layer and added it to the top and adjusted the layer mode so that the illusion was more complete.
