Ode to Music

With your melody of sounds and beats

You sweep me off into the night

You are a beautiful white stallion, racing to his heart’s content.

The stallion starts at a walk,

Bringing slow grace and magic to my ears.

He speeds up to a trot,

And the tempo increases.

I peer around the array of music spread before me.

The brilliant white stallion quickens his pace

And brings colossal sounds and vibrations to my ears.

He is now in full gallop

And the world seems to end –

Until he suddenly stops, without throwing me off,

And I gracefully dismount.
