Melody

Sometimes I hear melodies in my head. Favourite songs repeat in my mind. Cryptic lyrics resound, their meanings just outside the edge of my comprehension. Notes rewinding and replaying; I wish I could do something to make them materialize.

What would I make out of these songs in my mind and feelings in my heart?

A painting, a page filled with harmonious and warm colours? How do you draw a picture that makes the viewer hear a song in his mind that makes him feel like going back to where he was born? Or how do you dance a silent dance that makes a viewer hear a different song in her mind that makes her feel like running until her heart bursts?

How do I sing a song without music and lyrics but yet the music is as loud as your heartbeat and mine? I can hear the steady droning of strings, flooding my heart with unspeakable warmth and aching. I wish I could fly, and as high and as hard as I fly, I wish you could hear the magnitude of my feelings.
