This was written about a song I really like, called 'Finished Symphony' by Hybrid. I know the song probably won't have the same effect on other people as it does on me, which is kind of why I decided to write this :-) I'm not a particularly good poet, but hopefully some of these words will strike a chord with you about music that you really love.

Finished Symphony
=================

the opening phrases sound
a harbinger
of the acoustic delight to come

anticipation is accompanied
by my spirits lifting
my soul rises

somehow this temporal world
evaporates into the ether
the moment eclipses everything else

the music takes me
to a place beyond our world
a place beyond our comprehension

my body feels the pulse
my soul is surfing
on waves of sound

then it begins
the orchestra lifting me
into a state of rapturous ecstacy

pause for a moment
hands in the air
my innermost being lifted to the heavens

and again
the instruments inducing
an out of body experience

daylight steals through my being
my heart restored
catharsis

it ends
the rapture over for a while
but my spirits lifted
