Harmonic empathy for M'lady Magdalena

sonnet in tetrameter

Harmonic Empathy.

 

The music ceases suddenly

and leaves an aching void behind

The audience sits silently

As if they were all of one mind.

The magic music had to end.

They know this intellectually

The logic on which they depend

counts for nought emotionally.

Because they were transported to

the highest peak of ecstasy.

A place where spirits can renew

Their sense of wonder readily..

While listening to this symphony

 we shared a common empathy.
