LONELINESS, LONELY AND MUSIC

LONELINESS, LONELY AND MUSIC The pianissimo makes the violins softly cry, the cellos sympathize with the sadness of the theme Barber’s Platoon the sublime adagio quells the overwhelmed heart sending vibrations moaning through my body I’ve messed up through the years but your body lays warm next to mine and right now, right here, tonight my life is filled with doses of pain and joy Why must it take pain to feel joy? I for one don’t get it but I suffer the God-sent sting undertows of life that constantly beseech me like dry rivers of rocks rolling over one Melodies come and go; some stay but others ride the tide becoming nostalgia of yesterday Mind felt pictures come at inopportune moments lay waste to romantic dreamscapes that once were my refuge The melodies will ride my mind as long as there are good songs that touch the heart and ease the pain from my weeping eyes songs like Lara’s theme from Dr. Zhivago and the Nocturne by Frederick Chopin in Eb major Feeling loneliness can be cured by a good cry feeling alone can be cured listening to a great musical composition feeling loneliness and feeling alone are not the same And easily corrected; exception is the crying, The crying will end when it will end.
