Trouble Free

Relax with music

as it massages

the inner fibers of our brain.

Permitting us to drift

to the edge of fantasy

where there are no shadows

of yesterday

I love the phrase "shadows of yesterday". Although this poem is brief, it really captures the reader and makes us want to think -- savoring the sound of each line, I love the poem the way it is, but I thought it might be improved by keeping the sense of drifting by changing the line "permitting us to drift" to "setting us adrift". It still keeps the same sound, but makes the metaphor work better. Either way, it's a beautiful poem....very evocative

What a rare pleasure it is to drop all those troubles and feel at total ease. Music soothes the soul, I've heard, and I'll admit I should try listening to more music to turn down my worry button. Awesome little poem, Tony! Sharon

Oh I really liked this poem! I'm always looking for ways to drift away to a trouble free place and you just helped me to do just that and I love music so it's all good!!! keep writing (-: your awesome!

This is most fabulous. Fantasy always takes one to the land of trouble free, where the mind is at ease to wander and roam, in the wilderness of the unimaginable. Lovely in its brief expression. :)

oh this is nice and soothing. Music is like candy for the temporal lobes.

Music does so much for us. I don't know who said it but the quote goes: "Music washes away from our soul the dust of everyday life."
Your special poem got me thinking of that and so many things. Great poem!

Tony, I really enjoyed reading this, the entire dynamics draws the reader to certain contemplation,
that is what listening to relaxing music would intel, taking in the imagery, there is much to consider

as it plays on the emotional side of nature, trouble free, the title itself speaks valumes regading the
the encouraging meaning & actual intent, along with design and pattern, the subtle yet intriquate

way you sculpt the vision as a whole is nicely done, reading, I find myself taking by the dynamic insight.
I also enjoyed the way you captured the valume without being too wording, or overboard in structure.
Take Care, Mike
