melody washes over mesmerically----One Single Impression
she lay her palms flat on the table
staring at the keyboard,
occasionally stealing a glance
towards her computer screen.
she closed her palms, fisting those-
turned on the volume of her speaker
letting the music take over her senses.
strings of the kora washed away
her anxiety with mesmeric melody.
now completely relaxed; again
she lay her palms flat on the table.

Like summer rain girl!
I love the music and would love to learn more about it.
Nice - but how could she turn on the volume with her hands clenched?
I loved the name of your poem.
Restful and relaxing. So true, too. Music does wash away ones cares.

Thank you for sharing the mesmeric music-- it was wonderful to listen to it while reading your poem. I can see the tension relax in your poem. Nice write about the magic of music to soothe.
That lovely music soundtrack was a good piece to go with the poem.
Thank You.
Wow - thanks for posting that piece of music. I LOVE it. Of course, me being me, I could immediately see ballet dancers doing a modern piece in my mind. That's just me...
These lines are my favorites:
'letting the music take over her senses.
strings of the kora washed away
her anxiety with mesmeric melody.'
love it..! what a treat to click to the kora...just perfect for this rolling thunder, soft raining late night...and the visual is right on...right there with you on this one!
The music was a nice addition and enhanced the experience of reading and pondering the poem
The last sentence makes the text mesmerizing, like a song repeating.
I like this! The music is almost meditative and your words are melodic. Nice!
'strings of the kora washed away
her anxiety with mesmeric melody'
It did for me too listening and reading the poem. Thanks!
Gautami: Beautiful indeed. Sorry i have been so scarce. I am writing the prospectus for my thesis, which is demanding and giving more attention to the art of "seeing" through photography.
