Lazuline Pearls

Lazuline Pearls

A Poem by David W Moore III
"

an exerpt from From the Midst of the Maelstrom © 2010 David W Moore III

"
Just when the first note begins, 
the obsidian cowl nods,
and it ends.  
Infinite reflection 
reveals nothing: 
no effervescent brook 
no dialating candescence 
no opus magnum 
just a note 
echoing hauntingly. 

Oh sing a song! 
Sing a song never begun. 
Only the echo remains. 

Lazuline pearls drop 
bounce and return. 
The vacuum resonates 
reverberates 
searching 
longing 
yearning 
instruments at hand, 
trembling slightly. 

Oh sing a song! 
Sing a song never begun. 
Only the echo remains. 

The chromic rale 
and ursula tamed 
waiting 
anticipating 
humming 
thrumming 
the void tugging 
pulling to be filled. 

Oh sing a song! 
Sing a song never begun. 
Only the echo remains. 
Rejoined by the cosmic choir. 
The echo remains 
echo remains 
remains.

evocative of something in and on a grand scale...and yet with such descriptives as nothing echoe longing vaccuum and void to effectively reflect that something haunts as an absentee...i see the pearls fall...hear their thud thud thud thud upon the floor and sense some deep and eternal sadness in the song that never began...it is a song all the same...creating a sad ambience for which...i suppoose...you were aiming...strong piece...i respect and appreciate its existence...

This poem goes straight to the heart. I love the echoing refrain and each stanza is filled with sights and sounds. TFS

This is so beautiful, yet somewhat sad. I am left wondering more about you and your son.. your relationship and if somehow.. your son is still with you.

Again, the mixing of life with music and again it fits so well. It has kind of a haunting fieel to it. This really gives off a feel of longing for that which was never attempted. Very nice! Like it a lot.
