Music

It's been quite some time since I posted my last poem... so it's high time for an update!

Life is ever-evolving, and at times it feels overwhelming when attempting to take it all in. But how often do we remember that everything happens for a reason? Life's a song, and everything that that has transpired over the years has found its place in the melody.


Music

It's a song that makes the heart sing.
Immaculate melodies which bring
Clarity to perspective - the fine tuning required
When defining and refining our worldview.

The soul drinks while the brain thinks;
The heart loves while the hands restore.
Every instrument within us plays a part
In keeping us in tune with the score.

The song of life is a mixed composition,
Blending the highs and lows
Of life's ever-evolving "ecstasy."

The devil desires to dictate our minds,
While the Spirit speaks spiritual splendor to our souls.

The song becomes one of a raging storm;
A fierce battle; a stirring conflict.
The tune becomes unstable, and quivers.
The foundations shake as the song powerfully soars.
The pinnacle of the terror is heard;
And then, all is silent.

The music dies.

Yet the song is resurrected, for the storm has subsided;
The battle is won; the conflict resolved.
Peace is established, and hope is renewed.

The melody is rich with mercy,
And the love of the Lord is beyond compare.

Life is renewed; the song is reborn.

Music is in the air.

Update

Wow...it's been some time since I last updated this page!

Well, what can I say? I've been extremely busy lately - fortunately, the play which I've been working on for the past while, titled "The Lives We Lead," played out very nicely this past Thursday! Many thanks to Mark, Evan, Joy, and Emma-Jane for their amazing compliance and ability to perform. Working with these guys was pure fun, and they're very cool.

As much work as this was, I didn't realize how much I enjoy organizing/writing/directing until now. Being able to bring my vision of comedy to life made me realize my deep appreciation for God's gift of humour to us - that we're even able to laugh is such a blessing! Of all the blessings I count in my life, I seem to forget this one; but it's likely the one I'm most thankful for. Quite frankly, if humour was not a part of life, life would get old, fast - as you know, they say that laughter adds years to your life. ;)

When will I create another play? Too soon to be seen. Will it be comedically oriented? You can bet your humour on it. ;)
