The Zone

The state of mind "zone" that artists enter when they are creating or performing.

A circle of light
blanketed her with
a warm glow
as she stood alone
at center stage facing
an audience of judges
and admiring fans.
Magical colored circles
danced around her body
And the band

began to play.


The fans applauded
as she began to sing.
and soon,
becoming one
with her music,
her eyes dreamily closed
And she disappeared
into her song.
And the audience

followed.
