The band took the stage
in flashing applause and symphony growls.
The audience became their instruments
with tempo limbs and crescendo eyes.
Their bodies evolved into string instruments
and the beat plucked at them, until the crowd
jumped and shook in electricity.
The lights captured them in harmony
and the melody of their shadows
stretched across the walls.
The music swallowed up the masses
and devoured up each of their names,
until they morphed into a mob of adoration.
Groupies of rhythm and lyrics, they swarm
the stage and reached up to pay homage
in open palms, idol eyes and worship tongues,
and the band became a temple
of all their emotions and faith.
