there's a thing about music that draws people in.

By Star


"As I wandered the forest, the green leaves among, I heard a wild flower singing a song..." - w. blake 





what is that sound i hear a few feet away? it's a magnificent sound. my ears are ringing a wonderful tune. as i walk further into the forest, i notice my feet tapping among the leaves and grass. the sound from that coincides with the music. mixed together perfectly. i hear birds singing along too which makes it all the more magical. the owls are even awake and are dancing among the branches. the Bambi's are playing in the meadow. the farther I walk towards the melody the more I wanna give in completely to the forest. body and soul. it is there, over there, i see the flower singing so sweetly. there's tears in her eyes, she doesn't wanna be picked up for another to hold. she wants to feel the sun upon her face and to sing with full grace. she's a beautiful being. messy hair and a thirsty heart, i can tell. i give her my bottle to drink from. i want to love her, i want her to do the same. body and soul. i want to kiss her petals, one by one, gently. i dare not to. i don't want to damage her fragileness. she's pure and everything i dream to be. that little flower in the forest, singing a tune.

    I love this so much! Being a huge fan of both nature, and music, I love this poetic dance into the forest. The visuals you create with your words really bring the story to life concretely, but also lend many metaphors for personal interpretation. Scholar
