Music = Life

Music moves
Through a person
Like the wind
Moves through
The trees;
You can't see
The wind but
You can see
The effect it has
On the trees.

Music is like that.

Music strikes
An invisible chord
That makes the body
Vibrate and thrum
In answer
To unseen
Stroking fingers;
A person
Can't help but
Be moved by it.

Music is timeless like that.

Music expresses
Emotions better
Than an actor
Can compare to;
It holds sorrow,
Ignites passion,
Extinguishes hatred,
Nurtures love,
Banishes fears,
And dries tears.

Music is selfless like that.

Music slides
Past all defenses;
It echoes
Through everything
And doesn't care
About shape
Or size
Or age
Or color.
Music doesn't care.

Music is life like that.
