Play
it
slowly
adagio
slow, ma non troppo
play it in the time of a slow waltz
“music is the best means we have of digesting time”
And
now
play it
andante
at a walking pace
alla marcia, in march time
“music is the best means we have of digesting time”
Play
it
in time
a tempo
e ben marcato
animato, giocoso
“music is the best means we have of digesting time”
Sem-
per
singing
dolente
con passione
amoroso, cantabile
“music is the best means we have of digesting time”
Then
con
brio
vivace
a piacere
all shall have fun making music
“music is the best means we have of digesting time”

Full Moon
The ivory orb of the moon hangs low in the sky,
Above the distant line of trees, a wreath of thin
Cloud softening the disk and weaving a silken aura.
A thousand miles away, yet just down the road,
Distant trees are silhouetted just the same;
Reminder of past moments when the moon
Was full, and I was there.
The evening air is still warm, heavy with moisture,
The overture of the Build-up, its sticky mantle
Wrapped against the flesh in a troppo embrace.
A dog barks. In the distance a wailing siren
Comes closer, then fades and the night closes in.
Higher now, ivory hardening to a whiter shade,
The moon is witness to passing time below.
