Weaving through the pathways of your soul
It chases away the bogginess of despair.
Crying for attention, your mind finally settles down,
releasing its tears to this quiet gentler.
Soothingly sweeping through the staves
It glides in the midst of your emotions
displaying everything you feel.
Things fly from your mind as it reaches its climax,
and you feel fall back as the decrescendo begins.
Finding its way through your heart
It reaches your deepest inner core.
Finally your thoughts stop and it journeys through your spirit.
You feel everything it's trying to tell you and finally agree,
satisfying your most poignant longings.
