Playing his soul through music
Charming diversion

In a late moment
Lost smiling dancing rhythms
Remembered to pulse}}}

I wish I'd said hello

Today
A shimmering
Pale Sunday afternoon
You were walking the winding path
By the sea
Alone

Your slimness
(Almost frail
But immaculate as always)
Failed to cast much of a shadow

You seemed lost
In your world of loneness

I wish I'd said hello

But all I could feel was
The dialogue of
Your music
Your whispering spirit
As it was
On another
Pale afternoon

The beguile of that yesterday
Shone
Like an aura
A harmony of spheres

So somehow
Words
Now
Seemed
Misplaced
Like discord

Still
I wish
The ice of
Awkward shyness
Melted and...

I wish I'd said hello

Carry on Tuesday #91 ~ This week we feature a quote from the pianist Arthur Rubinstein:
Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.
~

Love life's multi-layered paintbox....................Love people's light and shadows
And life will love you in return....................And people will love you back
Perhaps in strange ways...............Perhaps grudgingly
Perhaps at strange times..............Perhaps thankfully
But it will happen.................Perhaps...

Friday Revival

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Late last Friday afternoon, this musician was outside the Dromana Hub Shopping Centre, Mornington Peninsula
The sounds of his pulsing soft and bold jazz/folk/avant garde rhythms were electrifying!
