The music of what happened,
of what could never be,
violins are playing,
my favourite melody.
The harp is in the background,
so gentle, sweet, and calm,
it’s pure and it’s emotive,
where nothing can bring harm.
The drums are the foundation,
underpinning future hopes,
solid, firm, and grounding,
cornerstone of my opus.
The strings they bring the melody,
add beauty to the score,
with soaring dreams and spires,
they lift the heart some more.
The piano brings the drama,
prophetic highs and lows,
it sets the mood of symphony,
accompanying the woes.
Do not forget the brass section,
significant in their part,
they bring the vocal cheekiness,
to complete the work of art.
My orchestra is now complete,
to play out my concerto,
each instrument a part of me,
my audible fiasco!

A lovely piece of writing… 🙂
Thank you very much indeed 🙂
Your orchestra is more than complete. It is out-standing Alex. Virginia
Sometimes the “like “button isn’t enough. There should be a “love it” button for me to push. So I’ll say it. Your poetry was music to my eyes. I loved it!
Oh Wow – I don’t know how to respond to such a beautifully kind comment – I am humbled that you like it so much – Thank you!!!
😀
Thank you ))giggles((
Hopefully it is in tune – though I feel at times I have lost the conductor!!!
Beautifully written Alex, your words play the music to me here 🙂
Oh thank you so much – I hope it is a serenade 🙂
heh-heh, you are funny Alex, your ‘audible fiasco’ indeed, what a hoot! I really enjoyed the rhythm and movement in this
Thank you Polly – that last line seemed to take forever to evolve – but well worth the wait! I will add the hoot to the brass section 😉
