My Soul Is Held a Prisoner of a Melody

Notes course through my veins Nourishing me by song Feeding the rhythm straight to my heart Beating so strong Harmony washing over, drenching each pore Showering percussion Bass knocking at the door Lyrics to soothe my sadness, to calm my fears Words to lift my spirit, Music is my ecstasy, rapture to my ears Sweet medication, I gladly pitch my remittance For music is my being, my soul Critical to my existence.

Excellent. Do you hear the musice in the rustle of leaves, the rippling water, crickets singing. It's a symphony. Keep writing. Sara
