Symphony

I see my life in lyrics

Cries and pleas from thoughts I’ve had but never spoken.

A soft thrumming of the piano responding to my wonders.

The words are comforting at first, smooth, and flowing with the rhythm.

But the words speed up, and an orchestra joins.

My words become harsh, painful, and dull.

And the music begins to pick up a sense of urgency, turning to a shriek as it grows louder.

Enough to wake a sleep deprived child from a heafty slumber.

It screams loud at me, from every direction.

Whipping in the wind as a pounding noise comes from the base.

The thumps become violent as they grow louder.

And louder.

And louder.

LOUDER.

Until it stops.

Everything, everyone, and the universe screeches to a halt as the song goes silent.

Until the sound of the silence echoes through all the galaxies and worlds in we have never seen.

The silence echoes back to this very spot.

And that’s when the song begins again.

It’s calm like the beginning, but turns into a triumphant horn that blares through all the kingdoms of humanity.

A battle won.

The song screams victory.

And when the lyrics die off, they leave an echo of glory for all to see.
