#discordant
The orchestra in my head has been playing dissonance all day Started off on one bad note and since then I've had to pay. The universe is reminding me that karma goes both ways I let the "other guy" peek out My plans end up astray Discordant notes, climactic screams, ohh...if it we're just another dream But then the light begins to wax and I remember to relax and breathe Now the orchestra gets tuned and warm Finally see a sun instead storm A mellifluous chorus pours in from the rain Sometimes we just have to take the pain when the light again begins to wane.

The Orchestra Today
_He is a child who covers his eyes with peep-hole hands and thinks himself unseen; he talks softly when the multitude shouts out loud, and hums sweet tunes to block the trembling arpeggios and clashing riffs of humanity in discord. He is overwhelmed by the silence of life's unspoken words. He is a listener who also has something to say. He sees into the hearts of men. Will you let him speak? Speak if you will, Shy, of what lies within the hearts of men - unspoken thoughts and peep-hole tremblings - the whole of life’s silent and unseen somethings. Softly now; block out the discordant shouts of the clashing multitude. Close your sweet eyes and listen to those tuneful arpeggios and undercover riffs. Talk to me. Can you hear the sweet sound of humanity humming out loud?_
