The Shape of Music

Sounds fill the air

with circles of swirling sonic splendor,

spinning with barrages of notes

that send the heart into a frenzy,

numbing the mind with pleasure,

rhythm pulses passion

in squares and rectangles

of galloping thumping thuds,

parallel to the beats of the heart

sending the body into movement,

music engulfs the body

in the sideways eight of infinity,

vibrating and blanketing,

pounding and elevating

to the stars and ellipses

of orbit.
