Ode To Music

Rhythm, beats, tunes. Oh how they please the longing ears with their sweet melody. Come, sadness, for you will be chased away by the harmony that lives happily in my soul, like an unborn baby resting inside my stomach. Stay back, tension, for you will not win the fight against the soothing notes, floating in an ocean throughout my mind. Come, anger, for the colorful music of my heart will hinder you from the evil plans of your black, tuneless heart. Leave us, fear, for the brave melody in my life brings me power and strength to overcome the many obstacles you have purposely set in my path. Keep playing, beautiful tune, for I now lazily lay back, each ear keenly engulfing the rhythmical sound of my favorite song. The music shall shield me everyday, like a father protects his daughter from the heartless, unkind world.
