music - is the communal art.needs no study of instruments
nor knowledge of note-reading
nor a canary's voice to enjoy.
doesn't mean concert halls of grandeur
nor ballrooms aplomb with crystal
nor backstreet alleys with graffiti.
is the pattering rain on ground
the whooshing of the waves breaking over sand
the drone of the driller.
is the child giggling when tickled
the chirping of the cuckoo
the chants from the monks of all faiths.
forces the smile tugging on your lips
the tears from your eyes
the impulse for your feet to move along
your hands to clap.
is the merry chanting of working farmers
the family carolling on Christmas eve
the olympic gold medallist singing his national anthem
is the most powerful thing on our planet.
doesn't recognise country or skin colour
is life.
