Music is a language---

There is a plethora
of varieties,
and you might not speak
all of them fluently;
they might be foreign to you.

It rolls off the tongue
and is soothing---
whether you're with a therapist
or blaring
you iPod.

Different countries

Use it differently...


Speak it differently...



Write it differently...
But music isn't just a language,
it's the universal language.

But all good things
must come to an end,
like the last bar line
halts the song,
and the final period
ceases the story.
