Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

In Umber Darkness

His audience floated while shadowed
in umber darkness of the concert hall
Upon his dusty piano, a spotlight glowed
as his musical notes cascaded in a waterfall

He faltered then stopped near the end
his wispy presence slowly faded away
I've given up the pretense of trying to pretend
I still hear him as he sits near me to play
