A Somber Flute

I play a somber flute

While tears fall upon

A midnight sky

Clouds of despair surround

Confusion that lays me out

Feeling rather human tonight

While I recognize a helpless

Need to know answers

Any answers

A hint

That settles in the mind

And yet I seek the sweet sounds

Of piano keys with an occasional flute

~

Take me on a journey beyond my pain

To let the beauty of memory help me recall

Just how lovely our lives have become

And how important each kiss, glance, hug

Every moment we entertain

Knowing one another in a manner of

That undying effort

That need we employ

That notion of compassion

We so often refer to simply

We seek

We decide with choice

We will

Love

~

A night sky cold again lets quiet mind’s travel

To the sounds and beauty of a somber flute
