Caught in a trance,
hands on the steering wheel
eyes on the road
mind lost in the music.

Lost in the bass
thundering through my static muscles,
lost in the guitar
amplifying my pulsating blood,
lost in the lyrics
shattering and healing my heart at once.

Turn it up loud
so my ears cannot hear my mind
attempting fantasy.

Singing, mimicking,
would be a disservice now.

So here I sit, caught in a trance
seemingly motionless, but hosting a frenzy
on the inside.
Music surges through me
as I open wide the gate
and leaves me with nothing more
than a growing smile on my lips
and radiating calm.
