A Song

It happens; the sensation when you hear a song that astonishes the very depths of the soul. The rhythm in tune with your mood, heartbeat in sync with percussion. It demolishes feelings, crumbling an already fragile psyche.

And you are left craving more.

The lyrics both haunt and elevate you, seeming ethereal. Focus is hypnotized, the hijacked neurological faculties mesmerized by the shear force of musical notes. It’s on repeat, staying on track, constantly pounding in the canals that run through the ears, a heart perceiving that perhaps you will never have this pleasure replicated.

Such as love in the midst of a deep, dark lonely well.

Nevermore will a sound so exquisite bless the senses. It melds together with such perfection, you’ll wonder if the spirit died and it’s dancing in heaven. Such harmonies must only be reserved for the gods, right? Oh, what a blessing.

You will never feel the same again.

But then you do, another song meanders into your spirit once more. On a journey through the mind, it lodges itself deep in the vessels that carry blood through your core. The heart! It’s on fire and it can feel again! The sensitivity to a tune you accepted would stay foreign. It happens; the sensation when you hear a song that astonishes the very depths of the soul.
