feel the beats pulse
through my veins with every heartbeat calm washes over me as I am lost in the
music. Its starts cold and hard at first then builds to hurried wave of warmth, finally I am swept up in a firm embrace as I think in time to the music as
it passes through my headphones. The area around me fades to a blur like
the mad vibrant strokes of Van Goghs' StarryNight, dark and beautiful yet messy and
indiscernible up close. All my thoughts fall around my feet like leaves on
pavement being replaced by lyrics counting in time to the next phrase, the next
crescendo. The blood rushing hot in my ears is taken over by a strong and
steadying bass line, the words to my favorite songs painting the canvas of my
mind. Reds blues vibrant hues and ugly shades in a tumultuous dance of dark and
light. The lilt of a melody or chorus sweeping me up on ever changing wings to
different destinations to towering woods of isolation, barren landscapes
cracked and angry or soaring over roaring oceans whilst glistening rivulets of
waters spray collect in my flaxen hair flowing wildly behind me as the speeds
of my ascension to bliss increase with the beat as I leave the world behind. Nothing but my heartbeat with the bass... I
pierce the clouds, awash in a new soft blue light. A small twinkling of
chords like falling glass fade up. I sink into a soft cloud and envelops me
in pure sound feeling the vibrations to every word every note. my heart is the
bass, my fingers the notes dotting the duskly lit sky of my universe like holes
in the shadow box letting the light
shine through. In my peaceful place, in my music I am untouchable.
