Giving Thanks for Music

Thanks for Music

Let's suppose that there was no music,

And we didn't know what harmony sounded like.

Therefore, I am thankful for harmony.

Suppose that we didn't have that way of expressing ourselves,

And we had to resort to violence.

Therefore, I am thankful for having a way to express myself.

Suppose that we didn't have that kind of escape,

And we had to hide.

Therefore, I am thankful for having a kind of escape.

Suppose that we didn't have that way of healing,

And we had to continue to suffer pain.

Therefore, I am thankful for having a way of healing.

Let's suppose that there was no music,

And we didn't have the ability to be thankful for it.

Therefore, I am thankful for having music.

Let's Suppose ...

                   The End

Suppose that there was no life,

That humans were the last ones left.

Suppose that the Earth began to crumble,

Leaving us with no refuge.

Suppose that our world was ending,

That our lives were falling away.

Suppose that we had no choice,

But to sit back and wait for death’s open arms.

But also suppose that death wasn’t a bad thing,

That it was a gateway to something else.

Suppose that the end of our world and our lives

Was only the beginning of a new, better world.

Diamond Poem

Music

Harmonious, lively

Awing, inspiring,uplifting

Emotions, thoughts, opinions, words

Chilling, hiding, frightening

Dead, empty

Silence
