Hadestown

 Tonight I watched the musical Hadestown for the first time in my life. I hadn't listened to the music intently before and didn't even really firmly know the plot. I just knew that two lovers were met with deathly challenges and that the show had incredible harmonies that I knew I would fall in love with. That being said:

Wow. What a vessel humans can be. For something so much more than our own. What can occur when we hold each other and sway to the rhythm of our hearts. When we harness and blossom with nature, as nature. When feeling is embraced, spring is finally sprung. I want to dissolve into the lyricism of every word outwardly sung. I want to get lost in the mesmerizing sounds of truth. I want to find and keep it all. I want to fly atop that stage and dance with those whose feet were prancing. I wished so dearly to land there and stay. It wouldn't take a dime of time to transform into a blossomed bud on that elevated hardwood floor; balances few, yet holds so much. So full. God, I'm so full. My soul must now burst with song and become undone. For the wake till dawn emerges once you bleed carnation red, and in turn awaken your spirit's fire.
