What is music?
But notes, 
a series of measures, 
that sound denotes.
Ah! But wait!
It is, it be,
so much more!
Music gives,
gratification and pleasure,
fast and slow!
It is,
up and down,
stairs and an elevator!
Music is,
passion and power,
glory and beauty!
It is movement and dance,
gaiety and laughter!
Music is melody
and rhythm,
beat and groove!
It is beauty and perfection,
orchestra and band!
Music is life
and death,
sadness and grief.
It is temperament and emotion,
chorus and direction!
Music is depth and dimension!
Happiness and joy!
It is travel and vacation,
ceremony and visitation!
Music is,
sojourn and journey,
sleep and dreams!
It is vibration and wavelength,
chess and a puzzle!
Music is language
and song,
novel and poem!
It is danger and darkness,
shining light and glaring brilliance!
Music is feast and famine,
hip hop and waltz!
Music is oil and vinegar,
dinner and breakfast!
It is flight and fancy,
love and hate!
Music is war and peace,
battle and plague!
It is ocean and river,
glacier and lava!
Music is you
and me,
us and them!
It is poverty and genius,
wealth and riches!
Music is gold and silver,
turquoise and topaz!
It is mind and thought,
vision and perception!
Music is character and concept,
movie and play!
It is castle and apartment,
dungeon and tower!
It is angel and demon,
plant and animal!
Music is cosmos and comet,
quasar and quantum leap!
It is energy and muse,
emotion and kisses!
Music is planet and earth!
All across the universe!
It is God, the Creator,
Man the Master!
Life's broadcaster,
Music Is!
