Ode to Music



Music can be a peaceful ocean wave,
Like a baby's lullaby

Music can be a harsh waving settling at the shore,
Like a drummer’s beat

Music can be a new mother’s joy,

But Music can be a child’s sorrow, watching their mother
Wither into old age

Music can be a blood curdling scream

Music can be a glass shattering shock to the silence


Music is a drummer’s beat, consistent and steady,
Music is a piano’s river of sound, smooth and flowing,
Music is a guitar’s vibration, sifting through the air,
Music is a violin’s melody, singing its own song


Musics can always be there to comfort you,
Music will always be there to comfort you,

Music will always remain the same,
Even when you’ve changed
