Write A Song

I wish I could write a song. To pour my heart out in musicality and have the words rhyme so perfectly. To share my soul in cadence. I wish I could put together chords, have them sing a song on their own; a harmony to my own melody, a symphony that could tell all from the first gentle plucks of the strings to the last resounding note. I wish I could pour my heart into minors, majors and flats. I wish I could play for hours just to have the world begin to understand. I wish I could encase these feelings in the timelessness and bliss that is music, the endless possibilities that musical creativity presents. I wish I could exchange these mere words for octaves and half tones. "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" It is the very illustration of why words are not enough. But the sound of two hands clapping is the beginning of something wonderful: a beat, a tempo, a heart, a mind, a song. I wish I could write a song. A beautiful, perfect song that I wouldn't have to speak. As I sang the words and formed the tune, You'd know instantly.
