A Thought

Music
That one simple word
A word that, in the English language, is just a bunch of sound in sync
But, to me, it's a missing link
 
A connection
A connection to you
And me. and all that we are and all that we wish to be
Without that connection, what are we?
 
A world
This world full of life
A world that connects through experience and invention and creation
Through thought. Through emotion.
 
A sound.
A sound is merely a word.
Music is a language. It's the language. The language of the soul.
Our language to control
 
To create.
To invent and express.
To reveal and uncover and reshape and reinvent to create more.
To access the soul and live for.
 
A song.
A song is an idea.
It takes that idea and shapes your soul, manipulating your emotion, letting it grow
A song is a thought that can change your life's flow
 
A desire
One that is to your hearts content
One that can be lived and destroyed and changed through a thought
Song that brings out true desire when the mind cannot
 
A guide
A guide that leads your life
One that can set your soul free and show your true emotion through your choice
Your song. And voice.
 
So, how dare they.
How dare they define the music
Unless they were to define every emotion and every soul that has ever walked this earth.
It's more than a word. It's life. It's birth.
 
It's a gift.
It's an expression of the soul
It's an attitude and a decision. It can change and define what you are.
It creates. And paints for the world as vivid as a bright star.
 
Listen.
Listen to MY song.
Listen to my soul. Listen to my thoughts. Listen to my life.
My music. My gateway. My strife.
 
Hear it?
Hear my soul?
Hear me speak from inside. Hear what it has taught.
Hear who I am. Through this simple thought.
