Music In Your Heart
#2
Hey Jack,
I actually liked the flow of this. It's sounded nice when I read it aloud. However, I found some of the images to be a bit confusing. I'll go into more detail below:

Music In Your Heart
 
It can reach deep inside you to touch the very bottom of your soul. -I don't know if "bottom of your soul" is a cliché, but it's pretty close.
It can press you to a windy flight; within a cloud; surrendering control.
You may paint the empty silence and shape it into such delicious art. -I like the phrase "delicious art." I just don't know if it adds much to the poem. It would definitely be an image I would suggest exploring more.
If you keep a little music, just a bit of music in your heart
 
And they will sing, and they will laugh,
And they will wake the sleeping tiger for his autograph, -I like this line because it sounds so surreal. Was that your intention here?
So show a smile and do your part, -Why does one have to smile to enjoy music?
And keep a little music, just a tad of music in your heart.
 
If you quiz a generation, which one is their favorite of them all? -I like this image. I think it gets a bit muddled by your rhyming though.
They will smile and close their eyes; throw back their head and lose a gentle call. -How does one "lose a gentle call"? I could be missing something. It wouldn't be the first time.
Don’t be so fearful of the wonder, maybe we can find our perfect parts. -This line doesn't really add much the first image in this stanza (the quiz for each generation).
If we just keep a little music, a tiny cup of music in your hearts.
 
And they will sing, and they will dance,
And they will question every robin on the meaning of romance, -Again, I like this line because of its surreal nature.
Appoint your stage and do your part,
We shall keep a little music, just a bit of music in our hearts. -This line gets repeated with slight variations throughout the poem. I would suggest dropping these lines because the title already made the main point of these lines.
Overall, I think you have a decent start here. I would mainly suggest cutting some parts and seeing where you end up.

Cheers,
Richard
