Sonic Unity
Music
what a force it is
transforming oxygen into audible emotion,
fingers strumming, exposing character
pounding skins causing a collective vibration.
A couple, a room, a stadium, moving in unison
singular heartbeat, a shared feeling
twenty thousand voices joined in screaming
soul to soul, feeling the pulse
elevated beyond this existence.


Music is mystical 
music is in all things
as natural as breathing, twice as fun,
if life is a storm music is the eye.


I feel the muses calling me
music drinks me and becomes me,
my being is swallowed by the clouds of sound.
We are little raindrops 
and music makes an ocean of us.
Great waves crashing down upon the shores of life.
