When does sound become music?
Is it in the womb and we hear our mothers heartbeat and hear her breathing?
Do we hear our own conception?
Is it in the rhythm of our breathing?
Can we detect the movement of our body when it sways in rythem to a breeze?
Is it the breath that we breathe that gives us a beat?
Can it be the drift of a snow traveling down the road?
Many things to consider but no real answers.
Maybe we are right,maybe it is up to one's interpretation.
But could it possibly illusion?
Could instead we are the music listened to by God?
Are the things we like to listen to our own identity?
Or is it the things we listen to with what we identify?
Can you hear music in your head when no music is playing?
Does that mean we hear things that isn't there?
Or maybe it is there but we are indeed some how hearing it from some unknown distance?
Can one even distinguish from the sound to the music?
Do you consider someone talking the same as someone singing?
It too has it's own rhythm and distinguishing sounds?
Which do you think it is ?

Most certainly food for thought here! (there are some cultures that believe that they were "sung" into existence by a god or gods.) loved it!

Wow!
Some of my favorite lines are:
"Is it in the womb and we hear our mothers heartbeat and hear her breathing?" and
"Could instead we are the music listened to by God?"
Poetry is like music

I love your entry. The second line was perfect. I think that's music. Sometimes I find myself grooving to the sounds of city life. So much is music to me and I'm amazed at how your poem illustrated those same ideas.
Thank you for entering!
