Melodious Lines

A melodious harmony of interwoven lines,
Or a lone voice, calling out in the night,
A love, a fire, through tune intertwines,
The passions of old that are shining bright.

A single melody, beautiful and sweet,
Sings to the crowd, drawing out tears.
A thing of beauty, born out of the heat
Of millions of years, of heartfelt fears.

Harmonious relationships, existing in song,
Through unspoken words, they interweave.
The love is deep, the hatred long,
Sounds and ideas that are difficult to believe.

And all this together, barely sums up
The beauty of music, the intricate blend,
Of years of hard work, when ideas erupt,
Something we humans can never comprehend.
