Heavy Metal

That deafening sound
Quivered my every nerve
A horrid distortion
Of music
Of beauty
Of art

Yet its passion
Brought me warmth
Gave me strength
And shifted it overdrive
Full of love
Of energy
Of youth

I heard and then I listened
And listened again
And I discovered the real
Art
Beauty
And music
Within which
Friends were Cheering
Singing
Dancing
And I
One of them

How splendid a night!
How unforgettable a time!
