Music

Unmoving
Glassy eyed
Struck by bolts of sound
Inside a spark
Soon a candle flame
Then a furnace
 
Sound to feeling to action
Inside silence
Then a change
No longer silence
A quiet that burns
Experience without thought
 
No words
But meaning remains
Somethin far away moves closer
A new insight comes into view
Then it is gone
The music stopped
