Coming Back to Life

Discover a song. Not just the melody or the lyrics. No. The soul of the song. Find the song that speaks to your soul, the very deepest reaches of it and embrace it: one note to the next. Begin by letting it penetrate your consciousness. Leave it there, just under the surface for a a long, endless moment. That moment bears your definition.

Then watch as it becomes a part of you. Feel it as it settles to roost under your skin. Hear it as it weaves trails through heart, mind and the soul that you believed was beyond reach. Then make a conscious effort to gather up that song and fly up to all the places that it wants to take you. The feelings are totally brilliant. And this is without the aid of any addictives, narcotics, alcohol...NOTHING.

When you find the songs that you have been waiting for, it's a dam burst of emotions that you never allowed yourself to feel before. Maybe the permission was always there. The cue just didn't sound perfect...right.

Keep yourself on to the song and you'll discover you can't do without it. You cannot close your eyes and make the day go away unless you have the final strains of that well beloved echoing reassuringly through your mind, empty of all other thought, the strains of music demanding all the weary yet happy attention that you can muster for it. There's something about a song like that that will leave you feeling like you're living with an unrequited love. Soon you'll be craving for something tangible to make you feel so uplifted. Something tangible: so much better than a waif, a nymph, a dryad of a feeling that you can never quite keep with you, within you, around you.

The song will echo of all the right things, all the feelings that are the stuff of dreams. You will feel the song take you up into a strong, warm embrace. You will feel it coursing through your veins. It is the song you've been looking for. And this is the moment to love it irrevocably. You might find, one day that there is another one to take its place. But your well beloved will forever remain, like the memory of a real love, to make you reminisce while you move one...
