No. 14

In the moonlight

I saw a storm.

So I opened my window to peer

Outside.

Sweet seducing meadow

Cowering flowering tide

The night so dark and mellow

As the rain rushing

Came.

Overflowing music

And desperate voice of song

In the moonlight so menacing becomes

Barred and riddled

The moonlight won.

The fantasy now,

An elegant voice of song.

Hm, hmm, hm, hm, hmm, hm…

My words have turned senseless, and strange

But such is the power of the piece,

That any art I could ever release…

Or read,

To you…

Inferior, and painful

To our ears.

False, and pretending,

An artist you think you are…

An artist you have never been…

Silence descending now,

Da, da, da, da, da, da…

Down with the tone,

Why are you still here?

Listening to your own drone,

Deaf and unable to hear,

The beauty ringing in your ear…

Behind the blinds, a world of time,

But you are so behind…

Lost in music great, music divine.
