“did it make you wanna turn it up way too loud…”

I’m not religious 

I don’t believe in a deity 

unless it’s a cruel one

or Freddy Mercury,

his angelic voice, his gentle soul

I would worship at his alter

until my dying breath;

there’s a thing though 

that moves through me

on occasion some call spirit 

it’s a thing I’ve seen and felt

in the core of my existence 

a rhythmic force flushing

tip to toe from my chest outward

it’s orchestral, it’s all-life

when it syncs, Gloria

and it’s there in the ether, spatially 

on the tip of my tongue

a thing no one can ever name

ever speak, but know is there
