I scroll along until something new catches my eye.

I click.

Brief interest and curiosity.

Invitation for something new.

The sound echoes through my body and my heart rate takes off.

Here we go on a ride.

***

An energetic song that shoots with electricity.

Peaks and loops like a rollercoaster.

Pushing me with it along a track.

Energy boost I did not know I was craving.

Replicating the lost energy of youth.

A ride I hope carries me through to the end of the day.

***

A happy song that shines brightly.

Soundtrack for the perfect day.

Beautiful beams of light coming in through the car window as the world passes by.

An inner glow.

Fortification of the heart.

A feeling that I hope could last forever.

***

A sad song that cries with me.

Haunting tune that sees my struggles.

A companion that I do not see.

Holding me and listening when I am still beyond true comfort.

Friend that I only turn to in times of grief.

Hopefully only lasting as long as I need it too.

***

Angry song that is as expressive as I need it to be.

Rage at a common issue.

Flare of the attention catching.

Neither beautiful nor ugly.

Painted as red as it has to be.

Moment of venting that comes and goes in a flash.

***

All that is left is the soft tune.

For when the silence is too loud.

To let the mind wander and explore.

Background sound to make a situation less awkward.

Always available for a needed moment of calm broken away from chaos.

Heard long into the night.

***

The music might never have the same effect again.

Or it could be a long lasting medicine.

Played thousands of times until it can be heard without sound.

Dancing through the mind too often like an overdose.

But that is a problem for tomorrow.

For now my heart will dance.
