Staccato Call

Symbols crashing on each side of the head; One side magnificent, the other side, dread, Violins play their calming current, Bass and Cello raise anxious annulment My caller is happy, but he carries both dire and grand news, Someone precious, in trying to lose Lose his youth, and play his own symphony fine, By leaving his home a new conductor to find. And then those who have sung in his learning choir, Are left with strings broken, unclaimed desire, From left piano keys black and white to the right, They have been traveling through their own perilous night. And then my caller parts staccato with an I love you, While the orchestra plays trembling a long night through.

I can't decide if this is a long goodbye from a lover or a long lost lover calling To attempt a reconnection. Either way it is beautiful.

It's meant to express the extremes of (in this case, family) news received after a long time. Part of the news is someone quitting one life and changing to another, but not a goodbye. Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

My reply went south! LOL. It's expressing extremes of news, and included is someone making a complete change in their life, but not a goodbye. Thank you so much for your input!!!
