Rhyme, Rhythm and Song

Rhyme…
 the alcohol in your cocktail
 the octane in your gas
 the connection in the words you speak
 fraternal sounds that last

Rhythm…
  the tempo of your heartbeat
  the joy that slows you down
  the shuffle in the words you speak
  that dance among the crowd

Song…
  the phrase that carries upward
  the music so inspired
  the love it brings that heaven sings
    —as Angels join your choir
