under the cool canopy of Royal Poinciana trees

Symphony From the Stars(Violin Concerto)(Edit)Echoes that rebound
on walls of night mist,

notes hanging gently
cradled in bars.

A Soprano-pure heart
keening a sorrow
wrung from the strings

Cinquiemenot to be diminished
your fifths carry me
to a realm of impossibility
