365 Days of Poetry (Part Two)

Day 83: The Power of Music.

There are times when music, its power may silence the world.

Sometimes, its voice amplifies the simple spoken word.

Like the point of a laser, music focuses what needs to be said.

To bring truth, light and honesty, to the forefront of society.

Though in opposition, these things can be covered by deceit.

Music, it is catharsis, the relieving release of emotion.

Music, it is passion, the one true unity of human devotion.

Music is transcendence, the movement of a freeing soul.

Music is a blissful wonder, the magic that makes us all whole.

A language deeper than words, it heals the broken through song.

Upon its waves we ride like surfers, surging and crashing away.

Music hears one's mournful cry, soothing us, making us strong.

It's the thunder that roars through our bodies, forever lighting the way.

A rush like no other, it enlightens our path, a gift to be treasured lifelong.
