Musical Lament

Echoes of a sad lament Played upon a clarinet Creating images of strangers on a shore Images of days of ancient yore. As I hear the haunting melody It's echoes resonate in me Each note seems to echo life The refrain brings tears to my eyes And as the tune floats and glides along Like a spiritual rhythm I feel the solitude, the bliss I feel the touch of a farewell kiss And as the clarinets lament haunts my mind I get lost in space and time And I give thanks that I am alive As the tune echoes universal rhyme And I know creation causes my energy to thrive As I look towards the light This music will always haunt my life.
