The Universal Language

A description of the first time that I did perform on stage. Within it also contains my feelings of the essence of music itself.

The spotlights sear the skin

As water sears the Witch

The applause is loud the cheers even louder

As I am called to take the stage

 

Silence the room stills no more cheers or claps, only waiting

My stomach falls away

As every eyes upon my face

I play the first note

 

My fears are gone now

The music absorbs carrying me up and flying me away

Guitar and voice entwined as one

Connecting thoughts and minds and souls

 

Joy and love

Happiness and heartache

All become expressed in the universal language

The language of music

 

Silence I walk off stage

Cheers and applause follow my retreat

I smile my expression complete, my voice shared

Hearts connected, souls aware, my heart at peace
