Musical Isolation

I place the headphones

over my ears,

immersing myself

in a world 

of harmony

and lyrics.

I listen,

head bobbing along,

with the notes

dancing across

my mind,

carrying my mood

with it.

Songs fly by, 

one by one,

merging into one

long piece of music.

I get lost

in a universe of music,

where the lives and thoughts

of others play out

in my head;

losing track of time quickly.

Isolating myself from

everybody else,

I close my eyes

and savour

this moment to myself.
