In just one fleeting second in your presence,
Melodies are inspired; however, they are evanescent.
Lyrics come to life but they lose their senses.
They are lost in the moment
And driven to silence.
The drums are muffled then silent,
Just like my heart, when I'm around you.
The song pulses steadily and
Suddenly accelerating to a brand new movement.
A new symphony echoes in the back of my mind.
Violins sweetly sing the melody
As the trumpets blazon the harmony,
Forming perfect unity.
All from that one fading encounter.

Oh my goodness! You have got a way with words, it is absolutely crazy how good you are! The talent is just over-flowing, jeeze, teach me your magical ways! This is so lovely and pretty. I love the tiny details in here, they bring everything together, and make this come to life! From the very first line I knew this was going to be wonderful. I am so glad you used the word evanescent, I love that word. I love the line, 'As the trumpets blazon the harmony.' That was great! You're a wonderful writer!
