Mutual Music

The most magnificent of all music
dwells in each of our hearts.
But, it doesn't end quite there.

For, similar are our descriptive lyrics,
and...share we all, the notes that make up our melodies;
not to mention, sharing many of the same tempos.

Loving the collective chorus's that we listen to
and hearing the harmonies that speak such joy, to us;
we must learn to observe the music that's in others.

For, we are not alone in this regard.
We must learn to accept each other as equals,
for, differences may still occur, but it shouldn't stiphon.

So, long live the blues, gospel,
country, rap, and opera !
Because, we all share these same charts, that hold the notes.

But, cadences will always vary, you know;
and so will the scores of our lives,
be it winter OR summer.

But, it's okay, though; for comes the fall...
we'll be able to enjoy, and savor the different volumes of our headsets.
As long as we heed each others' rights, to listen to our own musics; and to not "blast" one another out !

Saayyy....xD.xP.x....

...If I did that, then I'd end up with one line, (at best); left over. I really struggled putting this one together, (be it freeform or not); in some sort of "style". Maybe, I could've tried a bit more, huh? At any rate, I truly appreciated your feedback. Thank-you, #{:>{)}@== docmaverick.
