Songs of the heart fill the notes on the sheet

Songs of the heart fill the notes on the sheet, 

black upon white in the fanciest lace 

Strings out of tune to the places they meet, 

melodies wane in the moments we trace 

Choruses christened in sweet water glow, 

ring through the valleys while villagers sleep 

Echoes of remnants the masses did know, 

following tears in the music they weep 

Bass beats now driving, the wind at the wheel, 

harmonic detours turn lyrics around 

Lost with a map folded twice to conceal, 

any direction a bridge can be found 

Violins float on a cloud made of rain, 

drifting through caverns much deeper it seems 

Piccolos run past the chord dangled pain, 

wondering what has become of their dreams 

Symphonic whispers of volumes too high, 

scream in the night by the light of the moon 

 Dancing with shadows that soon wander by, 

curious why this is so out of tune 

Still here I sit on a bench made of pine, 

pencil in hand and a page it does greet 

Playing these keys hoping but to remind, 

songs of the heart fill the notes on the sheet

Love your instrumental and symphonies and how they weave through clouds, valleys, streams and how their melody dances with shadows by the light of the moon...bass beats driving the wind....remnants of masses that are re-born to those who first listened..."violins float on a cloud of rain".....these are the songs of the heart that are written on sheets of music...remembering the past....
Thank you sharing Will
Warmly, B
