Heaven Waits - Blues Poem 15

Counting spaces between the notes, the music came alive The melody deepened, the band on fire, all bees have left the hive Breathing in one fast refrain, my lungs too full to stop An Angel melts his pearl baton, the Sirens blazing hot New sounds created, harp destroyed, the clouds all push apart As heaven waits for one last riff, —to claim my beating heart (Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
