And the Piper Played On

And The Piper Played On The mystic piper paid his earthly dues strange tunes he did so often choose Notes that ring so loud and so clear wiping away doubt and darkened fear Yet each found this a false delight shadows that lurched in evil night Music set to lowly goals and greed easing pains from a desperate need Dancing in a deepened hollow ring woes trailed all that shout and sing Piper plays on in his standard way as his victims spin and gaze far away Stars spin away so very far, far above this world needs more, always more love Robert J. Lindley note: Inspired by the words of a fellow poet here. Such inspiration is in great abundance here as this site offers the writings of so very many talented artists! I am humbled to read such poetry and any subject can find inspiration from the tremendous number of offerings presented here each day! From seasoned poet to newbie the talent here is simply amazing..

Thanks guys. I will gladly take fewer coments by far better poets than more comments by lesser lights. I know these comments are sincere and well appraised judgments. Quality over quantity is my goal.... These comments are worth more thana hundred of the other kind ... I thank you guys, my friends, sincerely..

I love the feel of this piece. If I may be so bold I would encourage you to write more I feel this story is only partially told. I think this has the potential to be a masterpiece!

Still working on a second write my friend. A longer piece about halfway finished. Taking more time than I usually take because this topic is not only very deep but deeply personal to me.. Thanks for commenting my friend..
