Heart Beat
Location
Reverb
Echoing Pulsing Changing
My eyes are closed
My breath is deep
My chest is shaking
I envision something
a butterfly
wings flapping in slowmotion like a cheesy scene in a movie
but flapping to a beat
not the shit that is sung
by boys who are mad at life
by girls who wear too much eyeliner
but not boring music
music filled with life
soul
spirit
music with the power to change the world
one note at a time
other people explaining things the way you never could
being able to put your emotions into words
and sing them loud and proud
like nobody can hear them
and it's just them in the world
just themno
body else
any fucks to give?
nope
there's no way to describe
how one song can make you want so many things
a soft touch
a comforting hug
a warm blanket
the sound of a crackling fire spitting
and licking at a log
how a band can be your best friend
and a song like a touch across whatever
distance may separate them from us
there are so many things
that can be described with music
sadness
longing
compassion
but my favorite thing
that can possibly be conveyed
whether it's through the screaming of guitar
or the steady heartbeat of drums
is
Love
