The music rings softly through my eardrums I feel numb No longer anxious but calm Beethovens ninth symphony A musical brilliancy The symphony unfolds with celestial might, Strings and brass unite, shimmering in light, An ode to joy, to love, and to embrace, A content look crept onto my face It opened my eyes Set my troubles aside My refuge away from the world Helps me to fantasise and romanticise My favourite piece of music
