The Therapeutic Sound of an Egg Shaker
A poem about the therapeutic use of an egg shaker in a music therapy session.


Egg Shaker, once unnoticed, now I see,
Its role in therapy, a source of glee.
Small and round, in isolation, plain to me,
Among tools, it finds its harmony.
A client, so large, in a therapeutic space,
Finds solace in the egg shaker's embrace.
A bond formed with a calming grace,
In moments of unease, it finds its place.
The egg shaker, with its form, round and strong,
Supports the process, as feelings play along.
In joy, its contents create a soothing song,
Dancing in rhythm, where healing can prolong.
When emotions soar, it takes to flight,
Drawing lines in the air, a calming light.
A resilient tool, a source of insight,
Preserving its essence, to make things right.
In its presence, no harm it imparts,
A connection formed, a therapeutic heart.
As the session ends, it plays its part,
It's passed with gratitude, a new start.
Egg Shaker, a simple tool, yet so profound,
A symbol of healing, in the therapy ground.
A bond through moments, in therapy's sound,
A cherished companion, where growth is found.
