Found

That first moment
when the instruments begin to play
and start to build
and the vocals come in
and the marriage of the two is magic

That's the moment
when you know
you've just heard a new favorite song
for the first time
and you'll never forget this moment
when it first found you 

It stops you in your tracks
Like coming up from beneath the waves
bursting into the light
gasping for air
learning to breathe again

Like capturing a magical moment on film
leaves you breathless
excited
happy
learning to live again

Like sweetest aching whispers
truth and beauty
in the depths of your soul
beginning to hear again

This moment here

In my soul



In my soul, I'm dancing

                        to the sweetest song

    eyes closed in sweetest bliss

                         sweetest solitude

                                            sweetest freedom


Swirling gently to enigmatic melodies

            being whispered deep
 
                                            and low
 
                                                          and long


 To music woven clear through 

 
          every inch   

                       of every cell                        

                                     for ever on


Poetry enchanting as only magic can 

        and does

                    and will
 
                               upon release


Swells up like a pounding overtaking wave within
 
                                                               repeating again once more


                                  suffocating all other thoughts
 
         except this moment
 
                    this song
 
                               this . . .   .    .
 
                                          this fragile joy
 
                                                     this inarticulatable . . . something
 
That breathes fresh life
 
            and fresh peace
 
       and fresh sight


                        and satiation at last

For the unbearable craving


too long ignored
 
             too long unseen, unfelt, unknown
 
                                too long embraced
 
                     too long crippling


This music of my soul

            achingly embracing me

                        that keeps me dancing  

                                  breathing
    
                    unseen

    
    Free
