Unfinished Melody

Days spent
limping down
piano keys
and knocking 
on cellos

covering my body
with the sheet musics
he left

convinsing myself
a tune is ment
for me
somewhere

played lonely and soft
like Gymnopedie No 1
embracing 
a leftover summer night.

Gry . . . An "unfinished melody" but still quite marvelous and a most deserved "7" from me. An entrancing piece highlighted a poetic economy of words, but arranged properly to highlight the key images of your work. Superb Job Gry!! Cheers, Gary

Convincing myself a tune is meant for me somewhere....this line spoke to me most. So steep in longing. Lovely write.
