Musical Healing

Music is my therapy, 
  
             and yet, confusion rewinds,
                     
                       in my mind,

           dynamic notes of melancholy.

           But when ebony keys electrify,

          harmony bids darkness goodbye.

It's sometimes so difficult to listen to a piece of music - classical, pop, jazz; orchestral; guitar work or ebony keys, or wind - and work out what it's doing to you. Thank you. It's good to read what people think, as here in this small poem.

Music can work wonders; it takes thoughts and feeling deeper, into the heart and soul. The base keys on the piano stir me, but the higher tempo music can really perk me up. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Musical Healing, thanks for sharing! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I think music is therapy for almost everyone.. how boring is life without background music? Nice arrangmeent of words.. I like the use of ebony to describe which key electrifies.. I wonder if you thought carefully about which colour you would choose.. Its so lovely to see you flourish on here.. but remember.. ALT is waiting dear :))

So very true ! Music has such wonderful healing powers. It erupts the fountains of love in our hearts. No wonder Shakespeare has opined- "If music be the food of love, play on"! Lovely poem dear Empress !

Someone after my own heart, most of my poems come while I listen to music and most of the time I post a poem it has music with it...

I too feel special feelings when certain music plays. Your verses in this short poem pack a punch. And my friend that takes talent to pull it off as you just did. We poets must strive to understand life better so we can then write for our readers better. This I see that you already do. Bravo.. A fav my friend.

Dear friend, Ink, I am in awe of your ability to craft words with such sublime beauty and elegance. Your writing on the profound significance of music resonates deeply within me, as it seems to effortlessly disperse the ethereal mist of clouds and enshroud us in a world of enchantment. The imagery you employ is truly remarkable and evocative.

Music definitely makes us feel and we feel those dark and sentimental notes which can in turn bring tears and healing.

Soothing notes of music I hear--as they bid goodbye to melancholy. Wonderfully evocative write on how we cherish the sound of music-- that withers away winds of clouds and shrouds.

True.. These are the pure sentiments that I too witness whilst oscillating in between the notes, vibrato, crescendo and various symphonies of music.. It comes as a healing wave, yet tinted with hues of gloom and melancholy.. Pulling the heartstrings and letting us submerge in the essence.. Then there's another soulful harmony, which finally bids darkness goodbye.. You've described a whole journey of emotions through these sumptuously crafted poetic words.. I'm in sheer awe of your artistic quill
