It starts slowly and then builds and builds.
Pick it apart slowly, really, really, listen.
Let it lull you into a state of pure peace.
Forget the skyscrapers, the mountains, the monuments.
Forget it all because, in this blissful moment, it is just you.
There is nothing bigger than you, nothing smaller.
Everything is one, striding along melodiously.
With each change in notes, feel you, yes you, change.
You roll down a hill, the sun dipping low on the horizon.
Your giggles can’t be tamed, the dry grass in your hair frames your face.
No worries.
In this moment, everything is okay.
Tears fill your eyes, and sobs spill from your lips.
Holding yourself tight, a crescendo of emotion.
And the song starts again.
