Music Is

What music is to me.

Music is …

a mixture of black and white keys that make a soulful melody

 

Music is …

life as I know it, a fast paced Scottish jig

a slow paced rhythm filled blue

the words spoken by a *gangan drum beat in the market square

 

Music is …

spending moments a lone listening to the whisper of the wind on the trees

the sound of the waves crashing atop each other

the soft crinkles of a dried up leaf under my feet on the beach sand

Music is …

Love, Laughter, Tears, Heartbreak, Religion, Frown faces and Smiley's

Empathy...

 

Author's Note

*gangan is a Yoruba(Nigerian language) traditional drum and it means the Talking Drum.

Music is all those things, but especially those beautiful moments you describe in the last stanza. What a poor place this world would be without music.
