Walking Towards Evermore

Sound cutting through the urban atmosphere Awaken sleeping city dwellers Fierce winds blow but the sounds continue The sound of brass instruments and voices Voices, voices - chanting and delighting the senses of the asphalt homeland It always comes down to this: Silence is gorgeous but the right sounds improve the spirit and the body Dancing notes in the air Awaken the "chi" and cause shadows to flee An unreal joy seeps in thorough the void As we walk towards evermore Each note becomes a step on our perilous path

Bliss is home and what this poem makes me think of with your line about the 'dancing notes in the air'. A real beauty Matthew!
