Touching me to my troubled soul
Every sound
Every beat
Every note
Poignant with real emotions
Longing
Love
Loss
Anger
Elation
Pulling me
Calling me
Inviting me
To give in
Let it all go
Turn my back to loneliness
And lose myself in...
The Sanctuary of Song

I think music is such a powerful thing.. it can stir the emotions in many ways! Whether it be to suffering in silence with sad music, or to lift our spirit by losing ourselves...
Beautifully done!

Awe... That is just what it is like to...
This is excellent imagery, made me want to turn on the stereo.
Well done

Thank you very much, to tell you the truth I didn't know Maya was a poet, that was a quote that I received for a contest. I have been curious and will deffinately look Maya up.

I really love this...I only suggest the exclamation point be left out of the title...maybe added at the endline...but wow...great expression of falling into the music, taking refuge there. Nicely done. Peace, Rhonda
