Songs From Our Instruments
The old spinet repaired and played.
It produces no scandalous serenade,
nor maddened shriek.
Peaceable canticles,
to match the public tenor
of our actions.
Lovers echoing each other’s laugh,
creating adagios that move with their union,
songs vibrating to those lover’s frequency.
Your mellifluous spells ring in my ears,
as our songs join
to create complete symphonies.
The memories of music keeping people alive.
The power of symbolism,
whether ancient cryptograms
or musical notes-
sing your way through life,
and let your last song
be beautiful and glad.
