Listen to poem:
Most of the music I’ve written will never see the light of day
I guess it wasn’t meant to be heard here
But that’s okay because still I persevere
Driven by a sense that it’s not for nothing

That there’s an eternity coming…

Where the symphonies in my head
Will finally be scored

Where the walls
Will playback their tapes

Where all of the ideas
Those remembered, and those long-forgotten
Will proclaim that it’s time

Where all the years of practice
Will reveal that it has been for something

That I was being honed for the ultimate performance

Or maybe not…

Maybe it was just for the sheer pleasure of it
To be enjoyed only within the confines of the finite
And that’s okay too

But I really don’t believe that…
