The power of Music

Paper from wood. The maple-brown patterns on the walls swirl across the surface, the colors creating an abyss of pefection and creativity. My black ink pen draws lines and attaches characters along the way. The pen graces the paper, painting a canvas of music. The violins take their place at the top and the flutes acompany them. The violas and trumpets settle underneath while the saxaphones and cellos comfortably take their seat.

The pen takes a breathe as it eases it's way off of the paper. Then, without warning, quarter notes are instructed to the flutes and violins. They play a minor A scale creating an eerie presence throughout the vast room. It's as if the instruments come off the page and encompass the composer. As the treble instruments reach their peak and escalate in volume, the violas take charge playing a series of eighth notes speeding up the piece and stealing the light from the violins. The flutes don't back down creating a melodic harmony. A river flows as the trumpets join forces with the saxaphones and cellos creating this wave that crashes against rocks, this once peacefull piece now becoming a battle between wind and sea. The flute falls to a hum and the viola sinks behind the saxaphones as the trumpet gives it's most geaceful solo and guides the water around the rocks. The music creating an illusion of chaos meeting serenity. Beauty, true beauty portrayed in its rawest forms to grace the ears of those willing to listen.
