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
