Sing!
The slight lilt of the piano played out
Then the rumble of drums
The thrum of the guitar
And the tap of my fingers
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
A breath in...
Air cascading down my throat
To rest deep in my core
A breath out...
Pushed up through my chest
Mixing with the emotions pooling in my heart
Then the rich whole note filling the air with vibration.
Legato, long, soft, flowing like a stream out of my mouth
Then a sudden dip.
Staccato, power and movement punching the air
And a sudden waterfall of notes puring out of my mouth, the notes tumbling out one after the other
To rest softly on the ears of no one but myself
But
To me it was the sound of triumph and joy.
My soul dancing to the swirling notes, the rising and falling of the tempo, the riffs and runs as the notes tickle my throat
And then the last strum of the guitar
The quite rustle of the last beat
The glissando of the piano
And the last note of my voice
Ringing through the air and resonating deep within my soul.
Pure, untainted joy.
