Music in the night

You are attracted to the night. That's when you do your best thinking, have wild ideas, grow restless, and are bowled over by music. A saxophone wails in the night. A lovely lilting voice sings about love or loneliness. The fingers over the piano create a cascading melody of exquisite feelings. The violin lingers on, lengthens on a sensation. And when all these sounds blend and meld together into a symphony, a harmonious vibration, you experience ecstasy, peace, culture, and civilization. Your soul trembles. Your body rocks. Your heart leaps with joy at one moment and then another song comes on, your heart breaks into thousand pieces with sorrows.

Sounds travel far in the desert at night. A train rumbles on iron wheels, making a soothing percussion from the distance. You lie in bed, listening to the music and to all the sounds. Your bedroom window is open. Cool desert air is filling the room.  You feel alive. The thought of suicide seems silly and weak and absurd. Life is worth living. Life is sound, music, of vibration and of fighting to the end.
