The Deepest Song

I heard this song today
A wordless piece 
That spoke to my soul
Whispers of calm
Melodiously poetic yet lyrically absent
A map to serenity 
What have i missed 

Captivated I was
The reverence in its simplicity 
Burrowing deep into my ears 
Explaining where I should be 
I've forgotten where i am 
And why I'm here 
Nowhere but in this moment 

I feel it's energy 
Loud and piercing 
An infinite mist of pleasure 
Descends upon me
Created by the vocals of that saxophone
A record played from bumps on my skin

Each instrument 
Told me a different story
Perfect in tone 
Carried through every vein 
Now in rythym 
My heart is at peace 

Each second so sublime
Transcendent in its structure 
These notes speak
And I've never listened as intently 
Now I feel fine 
No more holes to fill
 
I will be fine
