My Ultimate Goal

Sitting quietly as I listen again to Kenny-g, playing his heart out
The master himself of music beyond words...there being no need for words
Drifting into thoughts, so overwhelmed with admiration for such an artist
Captivated completely by the calmness and beauty that each note holds
My writing is like an extension of that peace and beauty to me
I become one with each note played on that magical saxophone
Much like how I become when I write from deep within myself
Becoming so lost in thought, losing track of time...defined as peace to me
Looking for the ultimate goal in life...my own ultimate goal
Harmonizing each part of my being with both words and music
Finding the meaning of each tranquil note...as I see it inside me
Calming, peaceful notes that come so freely from within the creator's mind
I can relate...I become so involved in my quest, that nothing else can be focused on
My words are merely thoughts...things I sort out for myself day by day in my mind 
Trying desperately to make sense of everything I do or think about
It doesn't all need to be sorted, however it is merely an extension of who I am inside
The day I found myself was the day I also found my ultimate goal...inner peace
Yes I do still seek a deeper level of that goal, never wanting to lose touch with that part of me
That is who I am, who I truly enjoy being..."me" calm, relaxed, and very much at peace with myself
