Music

Music is like a firework cracking in the silent night sky
Bright lights bursting through my dark ears
Filling my head with colorful sounds of excitement
The crazy beats dancing out of the speakers
Waking up my mind to observe the world
But leaving the rest of me calm
As if the song was slowly gliding down me
Descending until it felt relaxation
It is a smooth stream on a cool summer's day
With nowhere to go but where it pleases
Feeling as if nothing can disrupt it
Until it fills my head with the roaring fire once again
