The Music Girl
The sweet chords of a song ring out
Their sounds are entwined in an intricate dance
The girl's body relaxes with an exhale
Her eyes open wide, completely entranced
A soft smile lifts the corners of her mouth
The music pulls her face up towards the sky
A strange beauty encases her body
She has no more earthly ties
As a drum begins to thump, the girl arms sway
Her feet shuffle across the earth, making their mark
Her grin becomes a bright beam of sunshine
Her eyes crinkle at the corners and she is free as a lark
There are no words to describe the girl's movements
It is as if she has become the sound
Her limbs flow like water from one place to another
She spins with grace all about
Her soft pink lips mouth the lyrics of the song
I no longer believe she is part of this world
The girl is one with the bass thrumming beneath the guitar
Her arms fly up, her fingers unfurled
When the song draws to a close, the girl lets go
Her eyes meet mine, filled with a thousand galaxies
I knew then, that she was not human
She was a girl made of music
