MUSIC

Went for a music recital last evening, wrapped around the melody and felt so serene, the music seeped in.....

 

Music is a crystal stream with tinkling ripples

The sound of water lapping against the shores

Sometimes it reverberates and resonates

Strums the very chords of your being

Is like a turbulent sea

It is gentle breeze wafting melodies

Or a raging storm with flashes of lightening

Rumbling thunder or gentle rhythm

It can be a soothing caress, a healing touch

An embodiment of serenity

A placid blue sky

Then again a singing bird

Or a wandering minstrel

Enchanting your thoughts and dreams

It seeps within and plays inside

The lilting tunes sooth your soul

The lyrics invoke myriad moods

Echo your emotions or memories

Music submerges your being

It has cosmic grandeur

Or a quiet solitude

Simple notes or a magnificent symphony

Swaying masses or cocooning privacy

Creates tranquil delight or crazy fervor

Evokes nostalgia, unleashes tears

Makes your spirit dance

Awakens your soul or induces slumber

Makes or breaks silence

It is for serenading, celebrating, dedicating,meditating

Connecting surpassing boundaries

Transcending language and culture

Music is solace

Music has a way of doing thing to the heart and soul that nothing else is capable of. Feeling the power of the melody is such a wonderful experience to partake of. Allowing the music itself guide and lead you to the place within yourself that is both needed and desired so completely. I really enjoyed your words as they gave me such wonderful thoughts and feelings.


Great Job!!!!!!

Nicely done, very moving. One thing: try to avoide the word 'sometimes', especially in repetition. It takes away from the lyrical, delicate poem with the abject commonality of the trite and vague. Keep up the pen, for in your grasp it has meaning.

It certainly is solace...It seeps within and plays inside, great thought right there! Your summation of the effect of music on the human heart, mind and soul is so true. This is a lilting/lyrical piece with wonderful connotations within your choice of words, such as; tranquility, healing and transcending...
I loved it because it is a calm read filled with joyful content...Kudos on this one, I can only imagine the work that went into writing it...

Beautiful!
I am a firm believer that music, next to writing (of course) is one of the most powerful mediums in the world today. Just like you described so perfectly on top, music can evoke so many different emotions and stuff.

Brilliantly written and oh wow, your imagery was truly a treat for the senses!

[Floating on the feather..]

Music is indeed solace...
Such a beautiful piece...strumming every chord and soothing every chord within.
Your descriptions are so vivid and so gentle. The words caress me softly and take me to a mystical land.

Its beautiful.
Mellifluous.

Where would we be without music? It enhances life so and leaves memories with us. Your words are all so perfect and special here. I enjoy all the aspects you mention.
