Music

I am the rift in the clouds, through which men receive in awe a message of immortality; I am the winged thought which they send out like a dove, to find the land of God. I am the creator of their highest and purest sentiments - those that are too strong and gigantic to bear the letters of words. I am the hurricane that sweeps over men's souls, the fire that purifies them, and the gentle voice that speaks to them in the desert, as Jehovah spoke to Moses. All that I am and more; for words cannot express me; mankind only received one highest give - Love.
