music

the music starts

i close my eyes

and drift away


my heart beat slows

the tension leaves

my mind strays


i become lost

in the music

in the words


i feel myself drift

rising above it all

free as a bird


there are no troubles

no worries or woes

the stress disappears


i feel young again

as memories flood

things become so clear


life really is simple

the music reminds me so

we just need to relax


it will take you different places

span the emotional spectrum

that is a simple fact


it may only be

a few minutes or so

before the music ends


but the beauty is

another song awaits

and it starts all over again
