Dear music

[Sugarcoat]

 

Dear music

Thank you for allowing me to leave my body 

To detach from it so fully I forget it even exists 

To escape from the disturbing vast mystery that it is

To not have to see all its flaws , but to instead see the mental projection of how I would want it to be

All with the support of you, dear music 

It’s not possible without you 

It’s not the same

Without you I suddenly feel everything 

All the sensations  , all the asymmetries, the heaviness in my limbs, the tension in my muscles , the pressures , the warmth and the cold 

All these things which I feel so fully 

It overwhelms me

Clouds my perception

But you clear it all out, dear music

You allow me to go into you fully , so that all I sense is you, and nothing else

You bring me that smoothness I’m trying so hard to create by my seemingly futile effort

Why try so hard

When all I need to do is to put on my headphones and click on play and there you are

Taking me in with open arms 

Coddling me like a little baby 

Who cannot even sense its body

You take me back to that place

Allowing me fully into your space 

Dear music
