Above the Earth I Am Floating

The angel of music beckons. Towards him I spread my wings and fly.
I am carried away as if the Pied Piper himself was wooing me.
My ears are connected to more than I can see. An etheral feeling washes over me.
Invisible and intangible waves of resonance gives me identity, clarity, and energy.
I am found but yet I am lost. I am moved so moving cannot be helped.
Primal? No, but instinctively human.
Driven by the pulse of a spirit unseen. Divine connections. Intuition. 
There is more to this than eye can see or ear has heard.
We have now become one. It has entered me.
Why do I have this need for such expression? Why do I have to have access to it's production? 
With emotion erupting I can be manipulated.
Coerced into submission. I like it. I think I need it.
I most definitely want it. It tells my story.
Apart of me it has always been and apart of me it will always be. 
For me made. A design that is tailored. Preference ruling, to me it speaks directly. 
It is my companion in which I would have to be forced to live without.
Against my will or election. 
As I take flight I wonder once more how this driving beat continues to always do to me what it has done before. It is music and it is my choice.


I thought about how music makes me feel and the above poem just spontaneously came out. What else can be said of music and it's connection to us? It is the invocation of feelings. Rock n' roll dominates my listening repertoire. There, inventory taken. God is merciful in the fact that He allows us to have Christian rock n' roll. (Thank you God!) A fascinating aspect of this genre is that even secular or non-Christian labels are picking up Christian ones. Newsweek magazine's front cover in 2001 was "Jesus Rocks!" It was a pro piece on Christian music.
The writer pointed out all of the positive's connected to the music. Including the performers and the participants at Christian concerts. I would like to submit an answer to the popularity of this growing phenomenon that the author of the article did not have. Perhaps because he did not know. The growing popularity of Christian music has one factor no other music genre has. God's Holy Spirit. A very popular radio station, Air1The Positive Alternative, is loved by Christian's and non-Christian's alike. You can listen on Fm radio or your computer. The listeners, Christian and non-Christain both, comment on the hope and encouragement they receive from the music. Today I still have some Led Zeppelin and I do enjoy Classic rock and even some Indie rock but none of them can give me access to God's presence. That is the difference and key ingredient to Christian music. Only in the presence of God can I have the fullness of joy and peace that we all seek. Try some you might like it. I know your spirit needs it.
