ANOTHER WORLD

The world is asleep,

Cradled in Mother Nature's lap...

Only restless children like us

Are still awake.

As we talk to each other,

We think of ways

To calm ourselves down,

To feel the inner quiet.

Music...

that starts in the background

Soft, gentle notes

Fill up the the space....

As the notes emerge,

We close our eyes

And feel our souls transcend

In peace...

Away from the daily trials,

tribulations, the fights,

the petty details

that make life

Miserable.....

To a new place,

A whole new world...

Where there is just peace,

happiness

and music for the soul.

Such a world

comes into being...

only at this hour of the night...

Only when we let ourselves go

And only when the music

Takes control

over our tired,

ragged

souls.....
