Reflections

Learning without reflection is a waste. Reflection without learning is dangerous." Confucius

  • The Music of Sound

    Oceans roaring, carving rocks
    Ravaging the seaside docks
    As the tides ebb sandy shores
    You can hear the music play

    Stormy nights —
    Rain falls in harmony
    Keeping time —
    Thunder claps in rhythm
    Beating in furious glory

    Whistling wind
    Blows through the evergreens —
    Flutes of old
    Like something never seen
    Played in glorious fury

    A great symphony
    Playing melodies
    To all who disbelieve
    In their power to create

    Quiet nights —
    Silence is deafening
    Lost in time —
    Playing without worry
    Music never weakening

    Singing birds —
    Chorus still presiding
    Keeping track
    Of all that’s played and sung
    Not to be played again

    Weeks and months and years go by
    But the music just will not die
    And the best thing of it all
    There is so much to go around…
