Oh, Music

Oh, Music
Oh music, how you know my soul. 
You pulled me from the darkest corners 
of my mind.
Taking me from depression’s grasp,
to a mood that conjures foot-tapping joy. 

What power you do possess. 
Changing and saving lives in peril.
The best friend who is always near you yet, 
the enemy of a broken heart. 

The ability to describe 
every thought and emotion from deep within me,
when my tongue cannot find the words.
Providing bittersweet reminders
of losses of the past and hopes for the future. 

Oh music, are you even aware of your impact on nations? 
Bringing people together and tearing them apart, 
while they remain clueless to your cues. 

I believe we enter the afterlife riding on the lyrics of a well-written song. 
To spend eternity singing praise and humming emotion.
