Quote and Poem of the Day

quote and poem

I've always liked Robin Williams as an actor, didn't know he said this though!

"No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world." I guess I related to this because I enjoy writing so much! That's why I keep 50 pens in my purse—okay—maybe that's a tad bit of an exaggeration, but you saw my photo of the day right?

Everything we do starts with an idea, and someone has to tell the tale.

Usually I find a song that is inspired through the quote that I chose. However, today, I am actually sharing a poem I wrote my freshman year of college about how I felt about music. To me, the idea of how even in a dead silent room, you can hear...say your laptop running, or somebody tapping their pen. To some people, it may be the most annoying thing in the world, at times it can be. However, to me, it's music.

Nothing at all is without a tune.

Your heart beats a giant, striking chord, you are the new day;

you talk with pitches, pitches of rock music, anger brings me hardcore strong,

staccato, fortissimo; sorrow bringing a more tranquil pitch, pianissimo;

the seconds of a clock tick light staccato percussion; you even breathe with the

heaving ensemble of wind instruments.

Even in dead silence, music somehow brings its way there.

Imagine the library, the room is empty, but the air conditioner starts running,

almost the low buzz of the tuba.

You can't escape it; you can't hide it.

Wherever you are, there is something,

something around making some kind of noise,

waiting for me to make something of it.
