Music

Silver and ebony, smooth and sleek
To make children laugh
And women weep

Wood and metal, perfect tools
To make strong men crumble
And the wise look like fools

No one can know Music's mind
There is no harder thing to find

But we do, again and again
Find the mystery, sometimes the pain
Of lost love
Loneliness
Or fear.

The music sways, ever moving
Lost souls join in common thought
Barriers broken

For who can keep silent in the midst of music?

You cannot hide
Why should you try?

I know of nothing that cannot be
Made better through sweet melody
