I turn the lights off
When I listen to the chorus
It’s like playing chicken
With God
*
Music is empathic
The way it presses tears
From soul threads
*
Every tender refrain
Leaves me redolent
As a newly dispensed sea
A state of saturation
That expedites purity
*
Everything I know of love
I’ve scraped
From your bones
Words rich and iron-infused
You are
The unbroken voice within
The illumination
Of a benevolent unknown
*
Not much time to write hence the disconnect between the stanzas. I am celebrating Christmas with my little family unit today and then with the in-laws tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!
