Imaginary Sounds

every breath i draw

sends a trickle of cool air

down my neck and shoulders

haunting tunes string from

the music i’m already listening

everything has an echo

imaginary sounds ricochet

from the titanium walls

inside my brain in my skull

cartilage receives the vibration

and on it goes till never

no, not never, but forever

the only peace of mind

is to let them continue

and not complain ever

no, not ever but never

never complain about it

listen and feel the inside

It pounds my bones

Until I will never forget

It makes me wonder wildly

Where will they end?

No, Be put to end? No,

When will they be put to end?

I don’t mind imaginary sounds

But they are in my mind

And my mind minds them

They are things that I

Cannot understand

It’s imaginary sound

It is like GOD almost

THings so wonderful

But yet unseen and yet felt

Not tangible yet require faith

I cannot fathom God

And all His sound

That would be so real

It would seem imaginary

He supplieth my need

My need of belief

And trust and faith

So that I may return it

How mysterious he is

He makes imaginary sounds

Just for me to hear alone

Maybe He listens along?

And can’t stand it either

But it is real to Him

I’m sure nothing is fake

But this isn’t either

The imagination is quite real

Or I wouldn’t be feeling

Just exactly what I feel

Which is dancing

Pounds of little dancers

All softly padding

My skull’s lining

As notes and sounds

Light up the brain and eyes

Imaginary sounds tell lies

But are they lies? No, they are not

Each sound is real

They are true for me

They are what I feel-
