The Soul of Song

First, a slight echo of angst
a slow roll of fingers over strings
Now, give rise to thunder-toned drums
so feet may find a fierce feeling for the floor
.DROP THE BASS.
And they'll stretch their hands so far
into the air above
you'll think their fingers hang from the ceiling
like chandeliers of swinging gratitude
The tiny tribulations of day's past
languish in music's sound shadow
to make free my temporal relationship with continuity,
like kundalini rising....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just in case! Kundalini means - the yogic life force that is held to lie coiled at the base of the spine until it is aroused and sent to the head to trigger enlightenment

Hey, even I had to look it up at one point!


smooth people stray by slinking onward
to the limousine-society
found in alleys hot
with Humanity in passing

a very fine write, it just might trigger more than enlightenment from some readers

time to set those deep bass notes free

Thanks for all the replies.
Midnitesun, I'm most flattered that you had to read it again the next morning! Thank you!
