The Violin Player's Last Words

I wish I played the violin ones more but the sound and strings ache me This sad and stormy autumn the maple trees tell me I'm dying Inheritance will be the Immensity with leaves and fruit of violin but no one will ever know the meaning of the springs with weeping deer... written at 12 when my grandpa died.

very sweet, I could kick myself for throwing away my poetry journal when I was a teen. I would like to know who I was back then. It seems so surreal now.
