Listening to Scriabin`s Reverie. (Revised).

Burdened with sound
The air becomes dark, like the depths of the ocean,
Slow waves moving overhead.

The audience sways gently to the moods of the music,
A tight packed shoal tugged at by currents
Stronger than muscle or mind.

This, perhaps, is a type of ecstasy,
Not religious, but purely physical,
Weighted down to time and space
Like the extreme emotions of love.
