Discordant

I can’t seem to let this go

The feeling that I am missing something

I can’t hear their song

Everyone around me 

In step and in sync

There is a purpose driving every action

Every footstep leads them one step closer 

To some goal

So I wear my mask 

To pass amongst them 

But I am slipping

Do they know

I can feel the strands 

But can’t hear the thrum

I see but don’t feel 

The connections between 

Brothers and daughters 

Husbands and friends

Vibrating from each side 

Matching Resonant frequencies

Amplifying each other

Unequal resonance in others

Until the magnitude dwindles

And they stop dancing

This can’t last

Do they know

The song is beautiful because it must end

Still they march in time
