Pulse Pounding

Chatter, Chatter all around me.
Anxious, nervous, all I can see.
Step away, turn the knob, loud, aching
Upbeat, uptempo, raw, pulse pounding.

Apprehensive at work; unsure.
Needing design to sluice the blur.
Music feeds the soulheart; grounding.
Upbeat, uptempo, raw, pulse pounding.

Grip the wheel, let the beat soar above.
Soundgarden’s roar fits like a glove.
Fast and furious, rebounding.
Upbeat, uptempo, raw, pulse pounding.

All is anxious, gives way to hope.
Music determined, tool to cope.
The rhythm around, surrounding.
Upbeat, uptempo, raw, pulse pounding.
