Resonance Part 1
Parts 2 and 3 complete the poem
Sometimes in our lives
We are compelled to say
'I know you'
Such a thing happened
Yesterday
I'd seen a snippet of a television show
A man playing a piano
In a train station
I looked up the piece of music
And wrote a poem
The next day, he walked into the art room
He was an artist
Conducting a talk
In conjunction with an astrophysicist
About art for a children's hospital atrium
The aura of both individuals was beautiful
I'd stayed late to finish my lino print
But was mesmerised
The laid back, soulful, at ease men
Top of their profession, without pressure
In a quiet moment
I asked if he had been on television
The answer was yes, so I explained
I don't usually watch television
But I had seen him
Placing myself in the zone
Of weirdo
I said I listened to the piece of music again
Was inspired to write a poem on the emotion
He read the poem
We chatted, the piece he played
Had been too sad to play for a time
After his wife had died
He told me how wonderful she was
How she prepared his path for afterwards
He talked of his new love and her beauty
Where he plays music now
Would I like his number
I said of course
Conscious I'd never call
