Do you hear it?

It drowns the thought
into the depths of sweetness,
lifts the spirits to the infinite,
brings back flashes of events,
lifts nature to the conscious,
defies definitions and genres,
keeps the tradition and the modern alive,
arrives with the season,
frees the occasions of ennui,
takes the mind on a journey,
commits strangers on a common mission,
keeps a part of brain to itself,
makes the pulse rise high
to the beats which race through the nerves.
A common language of hearts
like the universal smile,
a dance of sound and silence,
rhythm and melody,
pitch and harmony,
love and hate,
and a myriad other feelings
and events,
Music takes humans beyond known horizons.

You have nearly exhausted my vocabulary to compliment you with anything new. Actually, these days when I read your poems I am tempted to read the last line, but my "sixth sense" keeps me controlled. You really have made "digil" your trade mark.
"a dance of sound and silence"
Amazing line! You really made science, there, a line of poetry!
Also, the other interesting thing I find interesting about your previous poem and this one is the line about how strangers are related. Very interesting perspective! Brilliant poem dude!

Hope I am not spoiling you with my compliments!
