I rush around town
With my face in a frown
Hurrying to get things done
Before the setting of the sun

Tonight the music's sounds
Turn my frown upside down
Words fly through the air
With the greatest of care

The performer takes the stage
In the latest fashion rage
Applause ring loudly out
As she waves to all the shouts

I sit back in my seat
Flushed from the heat
Electricity will now fly
Reaching to the sky

I lose myself in song
For what seems so long
I smile deep inside
Knowing I don't have to hide

I can just be me
Setting the chains free
Under the moon my spirit soars
To the crowd's thunderous roars

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes, I don't realize I miss something until I am reminded of it.  Been way too long since I've been to a concert.  Enjoyed!

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

JLR: It was the same for me.  I used to go a lot, but lately I haven't been.  Go get some tickets!  

Logan: The music you heard was Pat Benatar and she was fabulous last night!  Thank you much, my friend.

Saunni: Thank you!  It was a concert in the park on the riverfront.  Great setting!
