The Music Moves



The music moves the jazz dancer
Music moves the club hopper
Music moves the soul of the gospel singer
music moves like the hands on a constant ticking clock.

Music moves like the water flowing to the shore after a wave has subsided
Music moves like a finely tuned car rolling quietly down a long endless freeway.
Music moves like a conversation between two old friends apart for years or like two sisters reminiscing over childhood memories after their parents are no more.
Music moves ... can you feel it.
