Poetry, in combination with harmony, can embellish the soul and ignite a sparkle so real which will never burn out. Together they form an intricate and rhythmic bond that refurbishes the existential nature of one’s soul. In unison, poetry and harmony strive to accomplish what is so crucial to survival. They are systematically woven in tandem, enabling the mind to foster a network of intense placidity. When poetry and harmony entertain the soul, they delineate a momentum of divine ensemble … it is resurrection at its zenith. Why does poetry enamor with boundless structure that which is immeasurable and intangible? Why does poetry seek to restore that which is destructible and lost? Poetry tends to iron out the creases, envelope the empty spaces and metabolize one’s body. In doing so, it enlightens the mind, softens the pace of a beating heart and fine tunes the brain to a rhythm, a juncture, a conducive benevolence, where one is mesmerized by a sunrise and bewitched by a sunset. We are destined to live a whole and rewarding life. There are those occasions when our lives can turn tumultuous and turbulent. In these times, it would be worthy to slow down our pace and restore harmony and tranquility by reaching for that favorite poem. We have the capacity to disable the turmoil in our mind by shutting out that which is the cause of agitation and chaos. Laura Simoes
