Home

I found my home in a music note

I can’t tell you the exact day or note

Or song that made a home in my heart

But I do know home is where the music is.

Something about the way the vibrations

Sync up with my own vibrational frequency

To make a safe space -

A space where music is not only heard but experienced

From beginning to end

each song consumes me

For what feels like a lifetime

and boils down to 3-5 minutes.

It’s the bridge

The chorus

The hook

And the verses all at once

Sometimes it’s simply just the beat

And how it fills the silence between

Each pump in my own heart.

No words trying to tell me how or what to feel

Just notes giving me time and space

to feel.

Right at home exactly as I do

When my new favorite song comes on

There’s something in the music that takes me

To a sacred place -

The place I go to return to me,

Where I feel the most like myself

Even when I seem unrecognizable

While holding a mirror

The music is always there to remind me

Of who I am.

Who I desire to be,

Where I’ve gone,

Where I’m going,

And most importantly where I live.

A place where I have always lived

And funny enough there is no real address

Because the music is everywhere and nowhere

All at the same time.

The sound waves coming and going,

Crashing and smoothing,

Dictating the mood I’m in,

Calming me down,

Hyping me up and breaking me down,

Filling me right back up again.

I have no claim on her

Because she won’t stay in one place too long

But she still feels like home to me

Even while in constant motion

My heart stands still

And my life stands free

With the music in me

I am at peace.

Home is where the music is

So I guess I am home

Whenever I'm listening

And home is here

On repeat

On shuffle

On a playlist

In an album

In a single

In an EP

created just for me.
