Music.

Music is the words we wish to say, the words we want to say, the words we do say. It lets us escape for a while, it takes us places we would rather be. Music makes us feel alive, it makes us feel content. It helps us remember the good times, it helps us remember the bad times. Music keeps us busy, it helps us get things accomplished, it helps us relax and do nothing. It keeps us company on rainy or lonely days, it brings people together for discussion. Music teaches us things we never knew. Either if its about our self, about the world, or about life. It reminds us of what we already know, to keep us in check with reality. It teaches us lessons of love, life, and despair. Music opens our eyes to the world we wish we lived in, or the world we are glad we don't live in. Music helps us battle the monsters in our heads and lives, it helps us remember its okay and it will get better. It can help us, inspire us, or empower us. It can deter our movements to just let go. Music is the shoulder you can cry on when you have no one else. Music can fill the silence, it can create silence in you mind. It can make us invisible, it can make us be known to the world. Music can take us to new places we've never been, it can take us to the familiar places we know and don't want to leave. Music is that sigh of relief and accomplishment. Music is that sigh of defeat. Music can make us feel, or it can make us numb and not feel. Music can get us out of bed, it can put us back to bed. It can make us feel the ones we miss and love around us, it can bring them back to us. Music can get our gears in our mind thinking, or it can put the gears to a halt, to think nothing. Music can touch us in ways we never knew possible. It could be the noise that goes in one ear and out the other. Music can pick us up from defeat, it can defend us in our battles. In the end, we will be gone..but the music will live on. It will tell the stories of those who have gone before us, and it will tell the stories of those who will come after us. After we have lived our life and uttered our last words, music will be there to keep the words flowing. People come and go through out our lifetime, but music, music never leaves.

I don't know about you, but I know I take the fact that I can hear for granted. Its a real shame, that not everyone can share in and hear this wonderful gift. Music is involved in our lives, we either embrace it, use it, or forget it,  but either way, I get to hear that. I can have music be there for me, not everyone can and that's a shame. I'm not saying that's absolutely horrible. For those who can't hear music, they probably have things that we cannot do or enjoy in.

Music is so many things all rolled into one...music is that piece of our life that will never leave us...even after we have lived our life and gone.

Peace.
