Ties
It floods everything,
And bathes the world in a new light.
The strength and the quality,
Are the most important aspects.
From the interwoven melody and harmony,
To the beating of the drums,
Rising with the swells and falls,
The sound of music is everywhere.
Music connects everything and everyone
That listens to it.
The connection can be joyful,
Full of harmonious chords and notes,
Ringing out for the grand audience to hear.
Enrapturing those that listen.
Binding those that stay.
The joy fills the air,
Bringing laughter and memories.
But, what happens when a musician plays flat?
What happens, when the conductor fumbles?
The beautiful connection is disrupted;
The entire performance is shaken.
All it takes is one person to make a mistake.
One slip-up,
And the whole charade crumbles.
Music is in everything.
The sound, the rhythm of life.
Accented by the sharps and flats of life.
Emphasized by the flowing Ties and abrupt stops.
Joyful, inspiring, graceful,
Somber, depressing, staggered
Music is a relationship.
One between the audience and the performer.
A special Tie between two parties,
A mutual appreciation links both.
Connected, interwoven, relaxed,
Distant, apart, tense.
Relationships are in everything.
Just as music is connected by Ties,
People are Tied to one another.
Just like the sound of Music,
Relationships are everywhere.
Good, bad, broken, mended.
