mental medication...no counter needed

 
nothing fills empty
like the sounds of ivory...
strings...
and haunting horns
sweeping through the darkened room
cello plucking achingly at my soul
filling spaces too long hollow
gaunt in their bearing
spiritual protrusions showing
flesh stretched too thin
over weary skeletal frame
the tune soothes
instrumental in healing
as notes tease over senses
a gentle massage
calming the mental barrage
eyes closed
against the glare of reality
allowing music to transport me
I breathe more easily
cradled
in the bosom of melody
