WHAT I LOVE

The prayerful serenity of a Bach cantata

The strident poignancy of a Jay-Z rhyme

The complicated eroticism of Miles’ trumpet

The heartfelt rasp of Johnny Cash

The smooth and sexy stylings of Tony Bennett

The Divinely inspired heart cry of Bob Marley

“Music Hath Charms To Soothe the Savage Beast”

Or so the Bard has said

But greater still is its power to unite, to edify, to give voice

To that which we sometimes cannot articulate

It is all praise song

A message to the Creator

A message to humanity

And we each have a song
