Do You Hear It?


Do you hear it? The millions of notes that soar through everyday life? The way that the drop of a single tear holds an entire orchestra within. How the sound of pencil on paper is a viola, playing an intricate piece. The hum of the air is a bassist swaying with each harmonious note. When the ocean blankets across a beach it is singing an ernest lullaby. Do you hear it? Another death in the world is being indicated by the boom of percussion. Another life is being saved through a poignant song on the violin. A heart breaking with a roar of a trumpet, and a new love rising through the cheer of a horn. Do you hear it? The gorgeous hearty tone of a harp as it is commencing a new day. When a flute sends out a call to the heavens, it's signaling dusk throughout the land. A triangle's chime, riveting through the streets, awakening the flowers to a new bloom. The land getting morphed each day by the full sound of a cello. Do you hear it? When a musician rosins up a bow, that musician is composing a part of life. Everytime a note is played out of tune, a problem begins to stir. Sometimes disastrous, sometimes minute, but it can always be repaired with a slight adjustment of the hand or peg. Each movement of the vibrato is a life changing experience and each key of a piano is a newborn child. Do you hear it? Do you feel it? Do you live it? If you do... You are lucky.
