The Medium of Life

Words give me so much
To express myself.
But sometimes words are nothing.
Dust.
Empty phrases.

Which is why God must have made music.

A simple choral piece is my life.

The deep, low,
Foundational bass line
Is all my past,
Life lessons learned,
Supporting me.

The arts,
Writing and music itself,
Are like the tenor and alto lines,
Weaving together to create harmonies
That add the color to life,
And sometimes they get to take the melody.

And above it all
The people in my life
Proclaim themselves.
(One can always hear the soprano line.)
They are the melody,
The song.

Music is the medium of life.
