Concert Contamination

I stand in awe, paralyzed Bottomless pit below, where feet should stand Boundless steps, take one more, then another Am I alone, in a sea of nineteen thousand? I wonder, is it just me Who's lungs compress the closer we become Nearly there, complete the infinate descent A memory perpetually imprinted, will not be undone I contemplate leaving, turn back The rush overwhelms me, is it too late? I've waited a lifetime and a day, I'm here A bumbling hum accumulates, then resonates I understand how it unites How it heals, destroys, runs fingers through nerves Drags buried demons from shadows, kicking, screaming A final standing ovation, the least that's deserved I reflect as the curtains drop Last wire unplugged, last light deluminated Bottomless pit, where feet once stomped Can't shake the music from my mind, I'm contaminated 25th August 2011
