Me and My Song

Crumpled paper
drifts across the lonely parking lot
and even though there are many cars
the lot is empty
me
curled up in my car
sleepy and alone
glance out the dirty window
watching people run about
always busy
always running
never ending rushing
but me
I stay put
unmoving
watching life move on without me
I move down farther
in my seat
seatbelt choking me
I slip it off
silence resounds around me
making me wish for noise
I switch on the radio
flipping through stations
searching for something good
I skip a station then go back
my favorite song
I turn the volume up
the song cuts through the car
I raise the windows
volume and intensity flow
into the lonely parking lot
people stop for a moment
listening
waiting
but when nothing else happens
they block the melody out
and go on
with their busy lives
filled with running
and endless rushing
but not me
I listen
to the melodious beat
the symphony swirls around me
playing with my hair
slithering down my legs
I'm lost
in my favorite song
I slip into oblivion
as I am consumed by my song
notes striking
down and then up
the melody goes through me
chords playing
a voice singing
I can't contain it
I'm soaring amongst the clouds
I'm falling into blackness
its just me
and my song
together forever
floating
apart from the world of rushing
and running feet
me
and my song
forever
we paint the sky colors
a rainbow
drenched we float
amongst droplets of dew
time stretches out
we've been together
minutes
days
forever
just me
and my song
until my song ends
and silence resounds around me once more
and I am left alone
in the empty parking lot
with the rushing people
and many cars
