Carolyn Devonshire Poet Free verse

Vibrations

sad notes from a lonely oboe

coupled with uplifting melodies from a violin

concert penetrates my mind

connecting with my heart

eyes closed, a musical mantra flows

at last, one with the universal consciousness

stress dispelled

new hope reborn

perceptions redefined
