High notes ring softly
In a repetitive rhythm
Encouraging the bass to bellow.
Together they play
In perfect harmony
In perfect cacophony
A welcoming sound
I’ve known for years.
The dependent treble falters…
Then frenzies until it unexpectedly ceases-
An angelic absence
Leaving the bass notes to calmly tremble,
A deep
Resounding
Heartbeat.
A familiar song
I’ll never forget.
For my Grandmother,
You’ll always be in our hearts
5/1/15
A penny for my thoughts?
Give me a pen and a paper
And I’ll take you on a journey
Past the contrasting black ink
On the white-as-snow page
And show you the mechanics
Of my brain. Here my thoughts
Are carried away on
Post-it notes of their own
Until they’re pieced together
Like separate pieces of the same puzzle,
A bigger idea made from
Several smaller ones
Placed out for very few to read.
Give me a penny, if you wish,
But I guarantee
It’s more than what you bargained for.
