Silent Chord

Silent Chord Strings of melodies stream together Vibrating from inside without a sound Welling up in silence With accompaniments of feelings and the mind Calming measures blended, refined like bitter grapes Sweet memory that aches upon a silent chord Heard only in the sacred crevasses of the heart Beating a hasty retreat to sanctuary A single breath of vibrant life on waves of music Crashing on alien shores A truce between passion and melancholy blend When we reflect, remember times together Not through a glass so darkly Not everything is black and white There are many stories and letters left to write I can play but one note for you A simple and pure one A silent chord Poetry contest: Debussy Inspiration 6/06/14
