Red tailed comets streak
Paisley colors growing weak,

Unwraps my immersed feelings
Senses touched divine

Among wall flowers who sigh.
Nothing brings hearts as
Close as music and laughter
Everyone should dance with joy!

Take it all in, all the bass.
Take a good listen.
Take it all in, all the drums.
Take it all in as you hum.

inside of ears pierced
song penetrates dark deeply
lighting up canal
enhancement of oars gliding
through calm waters of Venice
