That sound came from the radio,
Music that went straight to my heart.
A sound so beautiful that made all stop,
All stop around me as I listened,
Listened to those notes plucked,
Plucked on the strings ,
The strings of the mandolin.
A sound so wonderful and mesmerising
I was drawn further and further into it,
Into the sound that Vivaldi had written,
Written on paper for others to play
And produce this wonder of music.
The music finished but my day had started,
Started in a most delightful way,
With the music coming into my heart.

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
absolutely splendid .. I remember the very first time my fingers stroked the strings of my old bowl backed mandolin .. and having heard her played, can remember exactly why they cried so sweet .. I still have her to this very day .. and several others too ... πΌπ΅πΆπ΅
So pleased it brought back memories Neville, do you still play the mandolin?
Andy
I do .. but not as often as I would like .. π
I am like that with the clarinet, I should paly it more often.

The poem is a testament to the transformative power of music. It shows how music can transport us to another world, alter our mood and perception, and leave a lasting impact on our lives.
It surely can Mottakeenur, it has been doing that for all my long life.
Andy
nothing like that echo of musical notes
resounding deep within our pulses reach
as we, once more acknowledge
music's healing warmth in our life
(another lovely ode, Andy
thank you!)
Thank you Mek, music is my life.
