Nothing Can Stop Us Now

placing the worn-out, torn felt 
of the trusty old head-phones 
against my ears, i press play

on impact, i'm gently whisked away on 
a journey into sound - a familiar adventure 
into a netherworld of retro bass lines 

samples and soothing drumbeats 
like gorgeous rhythmic hand grenades:
only love can break your heart

sampled strings flood across my ceiling 
gliding down my spine, dissecting me
- the listener, the adventurer, the fly

waiting expectedly, until entering the room
... tripping over trippy 60s flute samples 
and walls of beautiful electronica ... a voice

a voice of an extraterrestrial, an angel
ascending over my head, penetrating my ears ...
my brain ... and deep down into my soul

i am soaring over impenetrable worlds 
eons away from this earth, an astronaut 
floating through time, space and memories

until finally my umbilical noose is cut
and then ...
... i am stranded ...
... hanging high ...
... and then ...
... falling ...
... falling ...
... falling ...
...into the safety net 
of track two ...
