Music &amp; Emotion <br /> <br /> Have you ever wondered about the range of emotions<br /> From pleasant to unpleasant felt through the day<br /> From open to happy, alive,and good<br /> To angry, depressed, and hurt by the way<br /> <br /> Triggered by events unfolding around us<br /> Impacting our lives in a personal way<br /> Affecting our psyche and causing empathy<br /> All during the run of a normal day<br /> <br /> Music seems to trigger that emotion<br /> It can actually cause tears to fall<br /> It can cause shivers to pass through our bodies<br /> He who hears music, feels solitude call<br /> <br /> Music is the language of the spirit<br /> As Browning says it opens the secret of life<br /> And according to poet Kahil Gibran<br /> It brings us peace and abolishes strife<br /> <br /> And every day as I listen to music<br /> And share in the feelings to my delight<br /> I gain a whole new respect for the genre<br /> And want to hold on to it even more tight<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
