Music Quieting My Soul Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Music quiets my soul, brings peace to my mind,
stirring my emotions, allowing expression of
them safely within.

Atmosphere surrounding me is filled with life
and happiness, sometimes with great and some-
times with an abiding sadness.

No matter though, it all brings about peace in
the end, a letting go of earthly things, tranq-
uility unknown, unequalled by any other activity.

At times becoming lost, hearing, seeing, knowing
nothing of what transpires around me, finding my-
self in a bluened atmosphere.

Total recall of relaxation, of being in the womb
unharmed, filled with grace, contemplative in
nature, my being lies suspended there.

Muscles flaccid, mind carried off into other dim-
ensions where none can follow, where none dare
to tread.

A fear of places unknown allows me to continue a-
lone without interference from anyone, for people
are afraid of what they might find within themselves.
