Music is the rhythm of the soul <br />As necessary as the beat of the heart <br />Your personality put on paper <br />In G-Clefs and Eighth Notes <br />The only thing that speaks my emotions <br />My story <br />Without my mouth opening once <br />It puts my heart on my sleeve <br />For everyone to see <br />While bringing back the demons and angels <br />Of the past <br />Bringing out those emotions you've bottled up <br />Tucked away for so many years <br /> <br />Strings of a guitar <br />Keys of a piano <br />Their melodies melting together <br />To create <br />My own little corner of heaven <br />My voice carrying the lyrics <br />Isn't the only thing that's soaring... <br />So is my heart <br /> <br />With headphones blaring <br />My worries wash away <br />As if an ocean's roaring <br />Inside of me <br />Wide and vast and deep <br />Pulling out the litter with the tide <br />While engulfing all of the <br />Heavy silence of the room <br /> <br />From records to cassettes to CD's <br />From concerts <br />With microphones projecting <br />Sounds across stage <br />With screaming fans below <br />To singing in the shower <br />Where your only audience is yourself... <br />No matter what the form <br />It emanates confidence in every note <br /> <br />The beat of the drum <br />Pounds through my body <br />Coursing through my veins <br />The energy making me feel radiant <br />Alive <br />So much better than a sugar rush <br />There's only one way to express it; To dance <br />To lose yourself to the sound of the music <br />In a blissful connection between <br />Body and spirit <br /> <br />Never are you lonely when <br />You hear this melodic sound <br />Like a warm friend <br />Who understands all <br />Knows all <br />And judges none <br /> <br />(My sister Sarah Hohol and Carlie Glanville and Chris Glanville helped me write a few lines)<br /><br />Tiffany Rose Moczydlowski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-music-4/
