    I wait Centered in the cacophonous rush    Listening intently For quiet sounds to emerge Rising above to ensnare me Releasing me into multicolored prisms Joy intertwines itself with life I swirl in multidimensional shafts of light Delivering me from the inharmonies of life Here I want to reside Worldy stings pull at me Bringing…
