"Music Bonds" Inspired by Battle of the Bands:

Music Bonds

I almost didn’t come

because I didn’t want to come alone.

But the music convinced me.

The temptation

of being in the same space as

of being witness to the creation of

words and notes

that resonate deep

within my being

was too much to bear,

sitting at the window

with headphones in.

I told myself I didn’t anyone

because the music

would talk and dance with me

as it always had.

But I was wrong.

The strangers in this crowd

are with me

as we breathe the music together.

Outside of this space,

we would never know each other,

but here, now,

we are closer than blood.

We sing

we feel

we remember

together.

Connected

tied

with the bonds of music.
