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! —————————————————————————————————————— (c) sally young eslinger 7/7-9/2023 Thanks be to God——

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

Hello Valsa! So good to see you & read your thoughts are this poem & how you relate in some ways to music! Wonderful how God gave us organs & nerves to hear & feel music. IMHO, life on Earth would be doom without it. Be well! xoxo. 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!
