Rhapsody In Three
On the day they united
The first song was born
The moon ceased it’s orbit
They took Earth by storm
Oh perfect endeavor
They designed second song
Terribly clever
Yet sweet and so strong
With piano and voice
With word and with pen
They made it happen
Again and again
Fire, subtle and fleeting
Quenched before it could start
A ballad so lovely
Twas’ the sound of a heart
Somehow the magic
Began to subside
It became more illusive
The harder they tried
So broken as they tore apart
She left behind her soul
Consumed by an aching heart
Just waiting to grow old
She looked ‘cross the courtyard
Her hands clenched up tight
As a familiar face
Appeared in the light
Time stood still with memories
From over the years
Back came the laughter
The pain and the fears
I don’t want to fall, she said
Therefore I will not fly
Take me with chains
To the land of goodbye
