This is a short melody, I recently wrote, played and recorded from the keyboard to go with the poem.  Enjoy :)

Listen to poem:
I sit at the water’s edge With my lone reflection to see What happened to our pledge? Now, will never come to be My tears ripple in water below No more skipping stones Pain from memories I know Slowly seep into my bones As the waves ebb and flow On heartaches from a distant shore I wonder if you know That I will miss you evermore And the sadness in my heart Will echo through the years And yet again will start The rippling of tears Waves of pain come over me As dark clouds hover above Tears blurring vision, I can hardly see How can I endure this loss of love? My reflection distorted, now unknown As if I lost myself as well I fear what my broken heart has sown In this sorrow that within me dwells Heidi Sands and Joseph May 7/14/17

Very sad and heart rending poem, Heidi and Joseph. But it is so emotionally rich in feelings of loss. A tragic love poem w/great depth of heart pain. Brilliant collab, you two. Love each voice delivered in this dark jewel of a poem. Love always.
