Music is like Fruit to the Soul

Poetry on Odyssey: Heard it Through the Grape Vine

Turning my music up so loud, that I can't hear the world

All I see would be the music

As I break it apart like grapes off of the vine

Piece by piece

Rift by rift

Experiencing each violin stroke

Every beat on the drum

Just like the berry

The darker it gets

The sweeter it becomes

It is literally music to my ears

Music to my soul

Not realizing where I am

What I am

Nor who I am

Just those grapes on the vine

As I pick and pluck at each crescendo

My heart races

As if it's my heart beat matches the mezzo forte pulse of the silk that flows between my two ears

Rewriting over those fears

Blessing my tears

So now they're from a happier place

This moment right here is the only real thing that matters

I don't feel this worn out couch, where I'm sitting

But I tremble at the treble of the bass that reminds me how to be present

As I bloom, I bring the berries back to the vine

Bringing the parts all together

Realizing how each instrument

Each sound

Each second

Forms this piece of art which you can no longer escape from again.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
