Ode to Music

It lifts me up

the sound

like tendril of flame

reaching

for the stars

they are living

breathing

seeing

like a flower petal 

like a seed

becoming a tree

like a letter

becoming a word

it's the sun

bathing everything is its light

or the tiny 

fish in the darkest 

cave

like the hand that 

helps you up

then the butterfly

that flits away

the lilting notes

carry me on my 

journey to the stars

and it lifts me 

up
