We sing to one another
So that the world does not seem so quiet
For knowledge that we are not alone
Trudging through the awkwardness
We sing to one another
To test our voices, try our limits
In subtle consensus, attempting to harmonize
All of the varying, changing, different voices
We sing to one another
To find some logic in what we sense
Locating the hidden part of us
Which believes what we feel is not meaningless
We sing to one another
Passing the time without being passed
As some ant of insignificance,
Stumbling, lost, in an unknown valley
We sing to one another
Because we cannot find
Any sufficient words
To sum up our
Each voice is a
Different color,
A vibrant thread
In a rich tapestry.
They weave together,
In tangled,
Endless patterns.
Greenish-gold and
Reddish-brown,
Purples,
Yellows,
Even a vibrant,
Overbearing magenta.
I have to focus
If I want to see anything
At all.
The music in my hands
Crinkles, sending
Yellowed-plastic streaks
Up into the air.
They weather and fade,
Disappearing.
I won't miss them.
The music vibrates
Inside my chest,
Against my stomach,
Around my eyes.
Blues and browns,
A pale orange,
Deep brown,
Almost a black.
And then it ends,
A blinding, empty
Clarity.
Stirring rendition in wind
Harmonized voices sing
Choral practice taking place
Choir achieved state of grace.
Voices soar and surround
No constraints they're not bound
Perfectly magical healing power
Musical reflection, melodious hour.
