Music of the Spheres

The soft music rose gradually
Like smoke from a freshly doused fire.
I listened to it intently
And my inner voice enquired,
Where is the source of this music? 
I’m positive I am alone
And doubt if it’s some sort of trick
Played on me by some asinine drone;
Couldn’t be, it’s absolutely
Heavenly sounding to my ears
With its timbre simplicity.
It must be music of the spheres
Inaudible except for me,
the wind and the eternal sea.

Beautiful Albert, I really love your images of smoke, fire, the wind and the sea, very grounded, earthy and a great poem. I wish I could write short poetry, I can't end my poems for some reason LOL.
