All it Takes
Elena K Oct 2013
Every book, every poem, every screenplay, every recipe, every word
Is just 26 letters, arranged in a different way.
Every mom, every soldier, every child, every lover, every human
Is just 46 chromosomes, arranged in a different way.
Every song, every opera, every prelude, every chant, every sound of music
Is just 12 notes, arranged in a different way.

And still

There are books that scare you
poems that fill you with joy,
screenplays that make you cry,
recipes that inspire you
words that upset you.

There are mom’s that annoy you,
soldiers that die for you,
children let you feel young and innocent again,
lovers that give you excruciating pain,
humans that make you feel something you’ve never felt before.

There are songs that make you feel alive,
operas that have you weep in sorrow,
preludes that enthrall you,
chants that carry you away,
sounds of music that help you trough the hardest days.

They are all. They are everything.

— The End —
