On Music Once Again

Music has power, let that be the premise
As I go on to surmise on the many qualities music possesses
It has the power to take away sorrow
And leave you looking forward to tomorrow
It is a blend of attraction and expression
Depending on what instrument you choose
Music is a living thing
Made out of frequencies not arteries
It removes barriers and inspires
But demands a lot of perspiration from it's maker
Music can cool a hot head
It can soothe the most grievous of wounds
And is a substance that does not harm you
If taken in large quantities
Hush now, night has fallen
And as we all know, the night is a time for listening
So close your eyes and plug in your earphones
And let a stranger who has become your friend
Serenade you to sleep
Slowly, gently and surely
