Head Nodding

--So thankful that the music is filling my soul-

When the music moves you

Making this prolonged second last.

Lifted to a state

Where everything is bigger and sharper.

With the loud ones

The head nods up and down and sideways.

The soft ones demand a slow pulse

Eyes closed. Breath slowing to better hear

The last couplet when my toes tingle.

Especially when it’s an absurdly quiet one.

Familiar songs are easy.

Always guilt though.

Too easy.

Want new songs.

New beats.

Head moving in new directions.

New music overhead—finally.

The server just sinking into the beat.

Eyes locked.

It’s a movement

That I can still join

And set my soul ablaze.
