To Music

                                                       Dear Music,

Nothing is more beautiful than music

Its sweet chords waking your soul inside you

It causes your heart to live and to tick

Giving you new life as fresh as the dew

All else is forgotten when it begins

It takes your worries away from your mind

Nothing is heard but the tune’s turns and spins

A better escape I dare you to find

When someone mentions their favorite song

Be careful how you react to that verse

That song might make them feel like they belong

Even if to you it is the adverse

Music has values different for me

Than your eyes could ever completely see.

Sincerely, Nicole Buiter
