On symphony and esteem

Last night i heard music..
as enchanting as the sea..
the vastness and the subtleties
all merged into a dream..

It felt good at that moment,
The trance was just right,
weightless and relaxed..
For a moment i was without life..

notes moved from one to another,
the clarinets, the bass and the horns,
The violin sounds ached in my heart,
the flute created a world unknown..

Soft and melodious,
The symphony of sounds drifted me off..
Forgetting my insecurities,
Lulled into a false sense of self..

The tempo began to rise,
the drums suddenly thundered above
i awoke from my wonderland,
the the ground under me gave up hope..

I sat and continued to listen..
as the symphony reached its peak..
I was falling and the world crumbling,
as the music, to a grand ending, reached.

I sat there stunned, i sat there passive,
I could do nothing but sit and watch..
watching my thoughts, watching my ground
It had stopped falling through the hatch..

I slowly stand up.. finding my feet..
finding ground for me to stand on..
I was caught unawares getting out of my trance,
but now i find my way back to reality..
