In the Moment

I move to the melody that floods my soul
I dance to the beat of my heart
In the moment, I’m not here anymore
But lost in the work of art.

The chords infect the root of my veins
And I feel the most like me.
My body bleeds out each drop of pain,
Finally know the sensation of being free.

My head has gone,
Floating in a faraway galaxy,
Its stardust in my eyes.

I move to the melody that floods my soul
I dance to the beat of my heart
In the moment, I’m there, but not really
And I’m lost in creating art.

My skin tingles with the bitterness of the music’s tears
I am utterly done in my relationship with fear.
In the moment,
I just move, I just groove
I dance to the beat of my heart.

This is beautiful! Congratulations on your win! (BTW there is a typo in the 1st line. I think you mean 'that' instead of 'the'. If it were me I'd want to know. ) This poem is a fave for me.
