Return to Music

A return to music

I never

quite learned

Once

began

A note here

A note there

Childhood days

Disappeared

Without ever

learning

chords

The idea, the dream

Always lingering its radiance there

I

Have

Survived

The wax stains from years of cutting corners

Trying to sustain a song without ever learning

Now I see you

I feel you

inside

of me

Each beat each tune

ABCDEFG

ABCDEFG

Living water flowing

beginning in the key of A

There's more to this score

The darkness in between

Must also be seen

Leaving them out would only cripple songs

To PLAY THE MAJOR KEYS IS

D# Eb

Who

will ever know the differences standing out

A time before

Learning was a commitment

I could not endure

Would the time be there for me

Could I see it through

along the dance floor

No more

Outstretched fingers

Dancing shoes

Harmonica in my pocket

The song in my heart

I step out

Breathe in deeply

Fully

Now moving my exhausted heart

Reenergized it beats through my fingers

As they begin
