Passion 3 – Music

Everywhere I turn

I hear notes and sounds and chords

Echoing through my being

Making me who I am

Ringing with every turn

Sounding in every thought

A screaming violin,

A rumbling bass

It creates a passion within

It creates a passion without

Reflecting the whole world

From the beauty of nature’s song

To the evil of hate filled lyrics

From Bach to Schoenberg,

From Holly to Ozzy

Creates a world all of its own

So people can escape and retreat

Into sound.

Out of the world

A life mundane

Now becomes a passionate dream.
