Music is life.
Music is breathing.

I - Trombone

How will you ever learn to use
the full volume of your lungs when
you don't need the air to play a song?

How do you know how to speak,
or to sing, or to kiss,
when your lips don't know how to vibrate,
and your tongue has never learned to play with air?

Can you say you
heard the angels sing
without a brass choir background?

There's no smile like that of a bass clef.
And there's no sound like that of a trombone.

II -Tune

We sing when we are happy;
we hide behind music
in order not to cry.

Can you feel your heart
dance in your chest
to your own song?

This is the greatest love
you will ever know.
This is music.
This is life.

Submitted to the Why You Live contest, because, well, music is the reason I am alive.

I sing you my song,
my life sounds within it,
the notes and the sound
you have given to me.
Of growing, becoming,
of heaven and earth,
you source of life,
I sing you my song.

Music Was My First Love

For a challenge: What Will You Say?
Just a quickie, sorry. I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed, because all I seem to send to =KneelingGlory is low quality work.
