Re: Re: Nautikos
Make that '...perk up;...'. Keyboard issues, or else the typed words disappear!

Re: Nautikos
Thank you, and I most certainly do agree. To be inside, locked, beyond devastating... Dr. Sacks' work is vast. Along that vein, it has been noted that when some patients suffering from dementia hear familiar music which they enjoyed in their younger days, they appear to demonstrate a more cogent state of mind (at least while the music plays) - on other words, they perk; and secondly, in regard to singing, people who stutter do not stutter while they sing, and people who speak English with foreign accent will often sing with no perceptible accent.

This is very powerful! I have always had the sense that there is something inherently liberating about music - even therapeutic (cf. the work of Oliver Sacks) but an inability to express what is felt it must be devastating....

Re: WileyJohn
Thank you. It did turn out that way. Bits and pieces had been around a while but never completed until now.

Almost an apt ode for that poor l'il lad that had his computer and program stolen, great writing love.

Thank you for the definition stand alone work but it is nice to be able to understand the emotion that triggered the poem. I do hope a solution is found quickly.

Re: BC-A
Thanks! Not to worry, Bill! I tend to take a generous helping of literary license. Part of this poem was inspired by a piece I saw on the news yesterday about an autistic little boy whose only means of communication was through a very expensive special program on his computer, and the computer was stolen from the family's car. They showed the boy struggling to say something without it, and it was heartbreaking.

Re: Katray2
Thank you for your kind words. I do love those drums, and the sound of the Highland drums, also.

Re: TAPS
Thank you, TAPS! Yes, I used to play the piano. Grew up in an atmosphere of music of all different types.

🎨Interesting sound in the mind in an emotional setting of classic literature. It’s both disturbing and excellent. Bill’s R👀st

Powerful - notes to fingers, breath, voice, lyrics weeping!
An amazing symphony, RP. Reminds me of the native drums awakened and reverberating through heartbeats.

Wow! Very impressive.
I may have asked you before, but I don't remember...do you play a musical instrument? Just curious.
