Music Looks Like

Music Looks Like A thunderstorm rolling in from the west. Jagged flashes of lightning from dark roiling clouds A quiet stream meandering through a wooded glen. Bubbling and gurgling as it gently flows to the sea. A brilliant art work with splashes of red, green, blue. An improv painting open to one’s interpretation. A crowded street full of people of all shapes, sizes and colors. Some hurrying, some not but all seem to have a purpose. A dark sky, with stars flickering and moon shining. A tilted head taking in the grand scheme of the universe. A silent snowy day when nothing stirs. A mournful howl drifts on the wind a note of aloneness. Music is not just sound, it also stimulates us to see more than we can imagine.
