Music

Music

By Steve

The river of light cascaded to the floor

Sweeping our eyes along with it

We saw only one person

Though others were there

The first riffs unleashed with a fury of passion

Like a wildfire on a hot dry day

The sparks flew and flames spread

Throughout our spirits and our souls

The familiar chords awoke the emotions

Bringing back those feelings of long ago

Bringing back the joy of earlier years

Bringing back the memories we had put aside

Not a catharsis, not an epiphany

But recalling that past joy

And creating a present one

The power we have within ourselves

The power of music

And of shared experience

The power to transcend today

For a feeling that is ethereal
