Crescendo

As I sat inside that church, during one of the lowest points of my life, I felt the vibration of the multiple drums going through my body, even though the sound of those instruments was muffled and unclear. Bolero, with its increasing intensity, was playing through my noise cancelling headphones, blocking any attempts of sounds to penetrate from outside. I gazed into the grandiosity of that atrium, the paths taken by the shockwaves caused by those instruments, how it went around the curves made of concrete, and made its way back to move me whilst it failed to make itself heard.
