Sensational Music

It’s amazing how 

Such simple notes
Can evoke such
Stirring emotions.

You don’t know
Whether to beam
With joy
Or cry exquisite tears
For such haunting beauty
That rips into your soul.

Such fragile notes,
So thin and delicate -
Deceptive -
Have more power
In their gentle sound
Than
Banging drums
Or ear-splitting guitars
To reach within
And pierce

Your heart
With razor-sharp
Simplicity.

 

You laugh in
Accepting pain
Of such precise

Mind-shattering
Elegance

Unable to comprehend
What’s happening
As the sounds wash over you -
Shocking, then soothing,
And leaving you
Feeling
Happy and Numb.
