The music in your head

Hear that melody in your head

Let it sing reprieves 

Against the lengthening of the day

& let it sigh relief. 

Then with your chest

Cry out

That the music in your head

Is real

& alive inside you.

Feel the pressure beating

Waiting to release 

From the tips of your fingers 

From the drumming

In your ears.

Now close your eyes 

Take a listen 

That small theater above your shoulders

Has a concert

So take a listen 

& see the music, play away.
