Music that Centers me

Heres a poem,
Music that Centers Me

When the words really speak to me
I feel as if theres nothing else in the world
Sometimes its something that only I can see
Seeing, notes that are swirled
Words that are free
nothing holding my heart back
keeps me from making a plea
but allows me to wave like a flag
it brings me a sense of flying
its a place where I can get lost
where I dont think about dying
where I can forget about the cost
and just live in the moment
let the melody flow
I can think about all the things that I covet
and not worry about the things that I blow
I just let the music center me
get to know a new world of opportunities
I hope everyone gets to see
that music brings forth endless possibilities

This is one of my "new" poems. I mean new in the way that I am challenging myself to write not necessarily about people who have really made a mark on me at a given time but rather the other things in life that move me. This poemt came really from 3 statements that I made to a friend last night, they were:
i like listening to music and letting it center me
letting it speak to me in a way that only music can
letting me get lost in the world of music and the possibilities that the melody brings to me.

Hope you enjoyed it!
