Odeaphore to Music
Music is everything
It is soul
It is raw emotion
It is joy and it is fear
It is sight while it is sound
It is freedom
It is light in an otherwise dark existance
And it is a shadow in a world that is just too bright
It is a lifeline in a stormy sea
A pillow on hard ground at night
And a lone tent standing its own against the driving rain
Music is everything
It is an escape,
A ticket,
A portal,
To a world that it, too, is
It is a confidant
A companion
A comrade
A kindred soul
And a champion of a cause you have yet to understand
Music is everything
for without it we are nothing

Written ages ago (junior year of highschool mayhap?). We had to chose a kind of poem to write and among the choices were ode and extended metaphor. I don't remember which one I started with, but it ended up being like a combination of the two, hence the title: Odeaphor to Music. My teacher liked me, so she let me get away with it ;) Oh, those were the days. (Just kidding, I still get away with stuff)
