Earphones!
A word so ordinary, so unremarkable,
Yet woven deeply into the fabric of my life.
At first, they were my refuge,
A shield against the world,
A quiet gift for an introvert’s heart.
But soon, they became something more,
The vessels of melodies,
Carriers of storms,
Bursting music,
Thundering noise,
Rhythms that pulsed,
Words that lingered,
Emotions that swelled like tides,
Flowing through the wires,
Filling my world with music.
And music!
Music, that brought me peace,
Made me dance,
Broke me into tears,
And sometimes, pieced me back together again.
Earphones,
A word so mundane,
Yet so essential,
A need as basic as breath,
With them, I am whole.
