Come to me and play,

you dancing notes

that totally possess

that excited space in my head

and become my drug.

 

Come and play soulfully

and touch these

sorrowful eyes

with flowing tears

and these lips

with heavy sighs that

run soul deep.

 

Drive away the dread

of being defined and caged,

with only my thoughts

allowed to play

my soul’s awful beat

 

Come to me, music,

and lift

this surging heart,

lift it high

to alpine regions

more divine than human.

 

Come to me, music,

and shout in discord

above the din and cycles of life.

 

Speak to me

in notes that strike

the chords

of eternity

and say, “beyond!

and “beyond.”
