Otherworldly Sounds

The city is 
cloaked in shadow 
  On my radio 
I hear otherworldly sounds
    brass,percussion and 
singing in a language 
I don't understand 
  The sounds reach 
the core of my being 
motivate me to 
  write this ode 
Music has the power 
  to support one's 
  strengths
      as does poetry 
The music continues to play 
My pen continues to 
  write 
the beat is gripping me now 
  And the words come forth 
The night becomes my plaything 
    As I delve 
into my subconscious 
for the right word
Search my inner self 
to find something 
   others can connect with 
   and even take joy in!
