The song resonated in its rhythm
Filling the corners of the theater
In silence, the audience tuned in
To the melodious brilliance
The mind swayed in the swiftness,
While the soothings hit every nerve
As the intensity of the voice was felt
The gravity of the words sank in
Unbounded by ones’ thoughts,
The mind freely fell into bliss
It wasn’t just a song, but
A composition of tormented feelings
Stories vibrated in the ambiance
Echoing the pain, the struggle
The world came to a still
As the final song was performed
The people admired in awe
He breathed in the appreciations
Before him was a dream,
A fulfilled lifetime ambition
As the limelight glimmered
Slowly, he opened his eyes
To find himself alone
Standing in the old coliseum.
