It is…

Pure joy.

Raw emotion.

A portrait of the soul that only the ears can see.

A novel of the mind that only they can read.

The power to defy all odds and conquer all evil in a shadowed world.

The power to bring life to all things dead inside, and passion to the indifferent.

It is the sweeping winds of change and emotion that brushes across your face in the cool evening of the heart.

It is expression and feeling.

It’s the burning desire that fuels the hope and compassion in the human heart and the elation that courses through every fiber of one’s being.

It is the ability to see things not for what they seem to be, but for what they truly are.

It’s a feeling and thought so great that the human mind can barely comprehend it.

It is the pure, unadulterated light which millions see by in the darkness of life.

It is the compulsion to be free; to fly with the birds and sing with the stars.

It is the foundation of all that is good and right in this world.

It is the power of peace and tranquility that all desire, but more importantly, it is the ability to achieve that peace.

It is the beast that stirs in the heart of all who live in a universe incomprehensively vast.

It is unity and the spirit of good will and happiness.

It has the power to change your life and the way you perceive it.

It’s a power strong enough to bring one to their knees in tears in awe of its inspiration and beauty.

It is the beauty of the earth and the illumination of the soul.

But most importantly, it is love.

The love of the world, the love of a family or friend, the love of all.

Music is love.

It is life.

It is feeling and compassion…and so much more.
