Hi Paul a lovely poetry portrait which depicts youth as it is but in older age have one is portrayed as having moments that light up their lives and a few dips which we have to accept, but the bonding of the two will always be! That is how I see it at least. Congratulations on your win. Warm regards and hugs, Jenny.

What a metaphor ... I liked the back and forth "relationship" of the player and the music ... the two lovers. And hey ... I learned a new word: chiaroscuro. I entered this contest, too, but for the life of me I can't remember how to add pictures to the text.
