Soundscape Therapy

Such a landscape of sound,
stringed instruments provide.

A simple pluck or slide of the bow
sends wavelengths traversing across
one’s sensitive needs.

How rewarding…

These sounds enveloping our synaptic mind,
giving purchase to our love,
hate,
innocence,
and guilt.

Finger-tone guides,
of the other hand,
press down on frets,
signaling variances of discovery.

Embracing the shaped neck,
the vibrations of strings may take one
to a garden of rose and peat moss
asking the closed eyes of the listener
to breathe in the scent of softness,
the fragrance of peace and love.

If only more would listen,
they may hear the liberation possible
as catgut and wood coalesce,
rendering hearts of the willing…
to open.
