Eternal Breeze (Music)

The day begins,

& without it, I am stale, stagnant & far too simple.

Sure, an existence is possible.

But in it's absence I am sifting 

Through the Morn's & nights

Heavy, slow, & hollow. 

It's the essence of a lit soul 

It's the invisible drive, 

The unbreakable hold 

It can light all darkness. 

I've gotten so busy with deadlines & tasks

Taking care of others & wearing endless masks & hats

That I have been without it-

& it feels as if my insides have turned to mold.

The only thing to uplift my soul-

A gift from above, you can try & say its from below. 

But I know-God rings through my eardrums & reaches my bones

When I am driven by music. 

A small drift, 

A distant echo

A relatable, excited heartbeat that uplifts

This is music. 

Something that soothes & moves us

Regardless of the culture. language, past, present, or future.

Every atom of every soul 

Can hear a bright song & let go 

Can feel the depth of a brooding, seeping hold

From demons that everyone knows 

From a voice & instruments that tell of struggles of old 

& feel they are not alone. 

The eternal breeze from the lord above 

Sweeps the skin on my face, 

Reminding me of eternal grace & love.

If I stop writing, 

If I stop playing the tones of my bones

At the very least 

I will never stop listening 

Admiring & paying respect

To all of the brave souls

Who bare themselves to the world

All for their entertainment  

While they turn & judge 

Let's hope they don't stop 

& continue to console. 

Even in my dying days, 

I'll hum a sweet tune

Remember a magical memory 

The sound track to love, lust, beauty, heartbreak dispair-

The essence of everything. 

Music.
