Musical Reflection

==============================================================

A soft pale finger touches deep blue sea

This water you say is reflecting me

The effect of the ripple reflects suns gleam

The pace you feel takes the stream

The shining reflection in moving waters abide

Reflect the melodic rhythm inside

Watching the gleam can blind your eyes

Causing the waters tears to rise

Apprised the water steams up in mist

Causing waterous eyes to drift

Soaking your heart ado

This isn't fire

Burning higher

This is the water in you

The water is music each tone in the gleam

This is the music of the stream

Drifting waters cause tears to rise

Causing what we know as tides

Tides of people rushing in

To hear music flow again

This poem is one cultivating an idea how music is a moving entity as like water. As water is a substance that evokes a mood, so does music. These two things are reflective. People come to water as they go to music. Coming with an expectation of something great. Passion is evoked through a carried flow, a carried tone, a carried emotion. It is something moving. Take the stream and drift because the inspiration behind what can move you is quite extraordinary and should not be overlooked.

This is a facebook post from a scholar named Eric Richter, a friend of mine. Recently I seen this post and realized it was too good not to share. I got his permission and now gratefully present to you:

Realtalk Incoming

By: Eric Richter

So it's around 7:30 and I'm walking across campus towards my car, listening to Unraveling from the Shame soundtrack through my headphones. The track is completely beautiful and serene sounding. One of those pieces that make you forget everything but the music and the emotions you're feeling because of it.

As I'm listening, I notice the sky and there are these gigantic clouds settling over the horizon, the tops of which are perfect white, but cascade downward through a perfect sepia gradient, all the way until they blend with the grey sky. You may have seen some people posting pictures of these clouds on Facebook, but I sincerely hope you saw them in person because there is no comparison.

Anyways, I'm walking, staring at those clouds, and listening to that track, thinking about the trees and the clouds and the grass, and eventually everything that holds any relevance in the world was absent from my mind. There was no love, hate, war, peace, ideology, politics, dinner plans, YouTube videos, homework to do, nothing. None of it mattered. It was like I was looking at the world without blinders on. Almost as if I was seeing the future, or the end of time, where all the answers are given to you. It was like I knew the truth of the world.

I realize that sounds like I'm on acid.

But all of that happened simply because I was admiring the natural, artistic beauty of the world, and listening to emotional music. Tomorrow I challenge you to keep an eye out for the natural beauty of the world, and appreciate it for what it truly is.

"Stillness is when time stops. It can be the time it stops just for you. This is an opportunity. Back away and look at what is there. Dont miss it because time may never stop again."

"Looking at the clouds can only work with imagination. Have you no desire to look at the clouds then you will not be able to reflect on it. Have you no reflection then you will not be able to better yourself and it would all be because you didn`t stop. Not even for a moment to look at the clouds."

"Nature is there. If we miss it then it is our fault."

"Nature is here for peace as clouds are here to drift. Wind is here to feel as you are here too."

THE CHANT OF INSPIRATION

THE CHANT OF INSPIRATION

Inspire a nation

With inspiration

Thats the chant today

Inspire a nation

With inspiration

Hip Hip Hooray!

To inspire a nation what do you do?

Well that is all up to you.

There is a thing to inspire a nation

It is called inspiration

Provide that and you will see

An inspired nation or country

Inspire a nation

With inspiration

Thats the chant today

Inspire a nation

With inspiration

Hip Hip Hooray!

Did we inspire?

Asks the choir.

Of all who joined the chant.

Did we inspire?

Asks the choir.

Or did we just rant?

Those looking to inspire.

Looked around at the choir.

What is it we need to do?

Can we just join in too?

Sure says the choir.

If you want to inspire.

You can join in too.

To inspire,

Says the choir.

Well that is all up to you.

So those looking to inspire,

suddenly joined the choir.

Then they chanted again.

Against the evil that is sin.

Inspire, inspire! 

Yelled the choir.

Come and join right in.

Inspire, inspire!

Yelled the choir.

We are fighting sin.

Then the choir,

sang higher,

to reach the stars above.

Then suddenly from nowhere came a perdy dove.

The message the dove carried was held within view.

The dove chirped and handed the choir a note labeled to you.

Reading it to the choir,

Was those among the higher,

The note said to sing on,

The inspiration cant be gone.

So the choir sang away,

To this very day.

Now thats what choirs do.

Inspire more than a few.

Songs of music songs of chant.

Songs are not meant to rant.

They are made to inspire.

Now do this with your choir.

Inspire, inspire, more than a few.

Once inspired there was you.

It was you who joined the choir.

Now you need to inspire.

Inspire a nation

With inspiration

Thats the chant today

Inspire a nation

With inspiration

Hip Hip Hooray!
