I love the
acoustics
here inside the
cathedral of my mind–
headphones on

swirling
twirling
floating
etherial

I love the
breeze
here inside my
symphony hall on four wheels–
windows down

rapping
tapping
bumping
strumming

Music,
I breathe you in
and I am intoxicated–
your rhythm beats
out of my chest
your melodies course
through my veins
your harmonies crackle
along the electricity of my nerves
I hear your lyrics and
my soul is moved to dance

I am wrenched
by your dissonance
I sigh
at your resolutions
My mind paints a vivid canvas
with your vibrant notes

I am alive
when I crawl inside
your sound
and curl up
therein

You know how it sounds
when my heart rends in agony
You know the perfect pitch
of hope
You capture the rhythm
of dreams woven
You are the sweet melody
of laughter
And sometimes, you are just so exquisite
I ache with wonder

…

Take from me my sight
have your way with my taste
if you must, take my touch
but please! Let me always hear
that sensual, sonorous, sustenance of my soul:
Music!
