AHA, a unique little piece right here that amazingly I have not seen yet. It is so cool how you did this one, Daver. ARe you still writing Amy, your mutual music lover? I bet you have wonderful conversations about the music you love so much. LUv, Andrea

What an interesting poem presented in an artistic way. Glad I ran into this one today. Sometimes I like to go back and read older posts for a bit of variety. You have me smiling with your last line. Nice one! Karen

This is just awesome. I just love the silence; it's like taking a rest. I went to a concert last week and it was just amazing. I needed that for my soul. Great job! ~Joseph

Expressed through music, even more beautiful. I hear the gentle ending (in piano), and then the heaven you write of. Brilliant! Love, Shar
