[the concert]

swirling,
twirling,
  spinning
   thoughts.
I am lost in ambiguous rapture.

The beat embraces my soul,
elevating my spirit.
  I lose control.

Up
Down
Up
Down
This undulating wave op people
oscillate in sync with the song
  and the tempo
   and the tune.

There is nothing
but the stimuli of the enticing lyrics
  chanted by the people.

And the melody of this Last Song is special.
Enchanting in its own way,
I scream,
  I jump,
   I sing.

For just a split second I am immortal,
lost in a moment
  that moves the soul.
A moment that will never die.

Everything stops:
the bass,
  the loud guitars,
   the screaming.
And nothing
but his tantalizing voice remains�

�and the noise starts up again,
the blissful sound gradually reaching
  a crescendo.
And I am filled with
morose happiness
as I listen attentively.

I never want to leave,
knowing that when I do
it will all be over.

And I go�
I leave this perfect heaven,
the divine joy quickly fading.

But in the back of my subconscious mind
the music still plays.

This was written after I went to a Stabbing Westward concert. They just happen to be my favorite band. When you see your favorite band live on stage, you�re filled with this perfect rapture that�s too unbelievable to even put into words. ^_^
