Reject the earplugs,
Listen for once brave,
Rejoice in the music,
Sounds to savor, to save.
Pass up the playlist,
Motives are in the air,
Listening is quite easy,
Takes nary a dare.
Harken the options,
A fresh journey, a new path,
Crossroads worth choosing,
New tunes ask new math.
Less need for full chorus,
Each passage rings stark.
Enough inner voice
Lets song seem a lark.
The score is lit boldly,
Lies freely in sight,
Themes ring clear,
The cadenza takes flight.
The tessitura climbs higher,
Let voice not be wary.
A cadence approaches
With high note quite scary.
Breathe, plant the feet,
Take the leap without care.
Rejecting the earplugs
Allows quiet to dare.
