Music Within

** Music Within **

Remarkably…
     	Oh, do!  Please!
				  Begin the music

For my inner empty places —
    Such as they are…Please!
Sound some splendid inspiration
    For my waking…

Do bring all-surrounding some music!
That I might leap!
     Leap into a new day
As soon as the dawn’s 
     Stroking sunshine bathes my face!

I promise to be alert to listen…And to wait   
   — expecting — hopeful to hear,
				Beauty’s range of notes				  Vibrating in my ear!
To
Carry me
  	Quite		 Off the floor!
								and
				 UP! Into the air!

Distinctively
      Dressed in a contemporary suite 
				Of rythms and frequency modulations	
As conducted along passages over the scales
		With different pitches
To excel!  High!
   And 
		  Then
					Down…
             As 
The tempos and frequencies change
    By the composed signified
			   Syncopation
			   Of the beats…

 I’ll join in 
Keeping time 
     To the music’s
Play…
     And the varying frequencies…Heard
 Surrounding do cause a vibrating within me…
So naturally seamed to my nerves…Enlivening,

Enchanting
     Dance…Out!  To rise
			 From my sleeping life’s dormant places…
In motions choreographed and set down…In
Footprints to follow
Between glistening stars’ beams found
   — By Divine grace — in my beating heart!

It is amazing ... the miracle of God's creation of mankind. So coordinated are our systems and so tuned in to the vibrations of the universe ... and yes, music. I like the creativity of your presentation, Sally. Hugs, Bill

The most pleasant sound is the sound of music within. Much enjoyed the voice of this upbeat poem, strumming life's strings. An enchanting write, Sally.

Hi, Vijay! I thank you for adding your thought to this poem. Speaking of “strumming life’s strings,” i often write (& find peace) while listening to YoYo Ma Greatest Cello Hits. Did so for this poem in fact. God’s blessings for you! sally

What a splendid poem on the soul stirring effect of music. Music can waken the dormant soul from lethargy and stupor. As the tone and tempo of the music flutuates, there will be rising and falling waves of delight in us. Music causes heavely vibrations all through our being ! Excellent, dear Sally

Victor! What a dear comment! Actually alot of music & science research was done before & during this poem, after the lines initialy sparked. Music DOES vibrate within us, thus making us want to move. Seen even in babies as you know, & of course., such IS the stuff of love *(:-) hugs for you!
