Sweet Sounds of Soul

The rhythm and blues cover me like my favorite blanket.
The beat, wrapping around my heart and my soul.

I listen intently to the music...until it fades away.
Just then, the emptiness and sultry darkenss overwhelm me.

How did I get here? In this dark place?
Has it always been this dark, and I've just never noticed?

No, it couldn't be. It was there...the light! I remember seeing it.
Bright and free. So fulfilling. That light.

Wait!

There it is! The beat. Do you hear it? It's coming back.
Ahhhh....the rhythm and blues. Sweet sounds of soul.
