Music Theory poem

 Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit Karen Edmisten* for Roundup.

This week's ArtSpeak: PICASSO is on the subject of music—No doubt because I attended my annual adult strings weekend last weekend. :)

The power of music has been well documented. I love how music connects us—and as a musician in an ensemble, I love how every musician matters, yet we are at our best when we are indistinguishable from one another. The whole goal is one-ness. Which means letting go of ego, disappearing into the beautiful ether. Lovely, yes? Thanks so much for reading!



Music Theory

we are in pieces

our bodies
harbor oceans

music bleeds
through our skin
like starlight

each note
cleaving us
together        apart

together again

    Irene, the concept of togetherness-one-ness. Your poem is so well structured with beautiful thoughts and format that the togetherness theme flows through. each note
    cleaving us
    together apart
    together again
    It is so important in this time frame to become a living part of a community without continually standing in the limelight. I am happy to know that your music group gives you peace and happiness.
