Stripped Down to Me, Note by Note.

 

 

The rhythm,
the melody,
consumes me.

 

Fills me up.
Releasing
all emotion
freeing myself.

 

Singing,

the feeling

of the music

overwhelming,

engrossing.

 

Stripping away

any walls,

any barriers

that I have put up

for the world.

 

The smell of rosin,

the touch of my strings,

the low ringing of the C.

 

Completely me.

Nothing more,

Nothing less.

 

Me at my most vulnerable.

For when it comes to music,

it is as close as possible

to looking directly

into my soul.

 

What would I do

without my release.

 

It is my life,

it is my love,

it is my soul,

it is my spirit.

 

It is my music.

    You have done an amazing job with this in writing out your feelings about music.
    a very good job indeed. this is probably one of my fav. poems that you have written.
    it really does makes me wonder how people can live without music - never knowing what it's like to be lost in the amazing world that music is.

    i am working on a piece on violin at the moment, and i've become very frustrated because i can't get a part of it right. this poem has really motivated me to give it another chance, to try again.
    thanks so much. what would i do if i hadn't gone to a school so full of music, and not have met you?
    thakns again and thanks to the person taht made this contest so that you could write this poem and therefore inspire me . (get all that??!)
    anyways, you've done an absolutly brilliant job with this - better than i could ever do!
    did something in particular inspire you to write this??

    keep up the great work (isn't holidays just the best time to write poetry?!)

    love MKate
    (woah this is looong!)

    Beautifully simple & simply beautiful I loved the short line structure,, it really added an impact to each word. This one really got under my skin and i can completely understand the idea of it. I feel like an idiot for asking this, but... what is rosin ?

    Anyway, spectacular poem (and nice picture too)
    thank you
