Season's Greetings

Music is soothing because it progresses in one direction only

Keeping in time, even when the harmonies are complex and the colors wild

But what happens when the music ends?

I am lost, utterly lost, in the brightness of day

Closing my eyes, I see clouds billowing

They travel in every direction, to the right, to the left, crisscrossing

The wind does not carry the clouds; the clouds carry the wind

The clouds, too, keep in time, but inaudibly

Except when it rains

Snow, too, is music...
