Distant thunder rumbles
Lightning flashes across the dark sky
As the cool night air settles
Like a blanket over the stillness
And wraps me in the quiet
It whispers "what's your hurry?
Sit a while with me."
So maybe I'll stay just awhile
On a stormy night.

Play Me
it's amazing when you really think about it. That we can make an inanimate object sing. That we can give it a voice, bring it to life. Music is a gateway to peace, power, encouragement , solace, and inspiration. It expresses emotions, strings thoughts , gives us wings to soar or plummets us to the ground, all without a single spoken word. It's a world language, used across the earth for peace, unity, power, encouragement , solace and inspiration. An international common denominator amongst all peoples.
