The dark notes of a song reach my soul-

Bach's cello suite no. 1 in g major is all my heart howls;

To the moon, the sky, even that stars I've yet to see. Where is the wish the skeptics promised me?

The smell of dirt and wood is a comfort that I have not yet returned to the all too familiar dust.

Still, I know how closely we are disregarded, wiped away, and ignored.

The crisp strings being pulled and swayed in the prelude, the dark notes engulf me. Anxiety rules the sensation of a perfect note, waiting for a horrid and course screech, but it never comes.

Only leaving me with a racing heart.

Once again the scent, the sound, even the anxious pain, somehow all remind me that I am sane.
