THIS MUSIC

Spontaneous ~ On the Moment’s Spur

I love this music.

I love this piano this gorgeous melody.

Memories floating.

Following free flow over chords,

Minor and Major and Minor again

And fluttering of flats and sharps

A Butterfly

Waves rippling.

Oh yes,

Memories.

The train racing through the countryside

First class,

Letters and papers, books and thoughts,

What days those were.

I love this music.

The melody connects me with my inner self.

I go where no one else can go.

I go where no one else has been.

I go alone.

There is peace in aloneness.

I love this music.

Racing through the countryside.

Thinking, pausing,

Those papers again.

Papers I should not read,

Papers, diagrams, drawings just for me.

Lines that prove that I am loved

in the way that I can never have.

Newcastle

Liverpool

Blackpool

Oxford

London

Luton

Folkestone

Dover

And the glorious County of Kent

of former days,

of Northumberland and Tyneside.

I love this music.

This Line racing through the countryside,

Intercity first class

Gentle rocking with the chords

The piano’s beauty bringing to me

All that has gone before me

Wonderful memories.

Always alone.

I love this music.

Echoes of the great composers.

The wonder…

Why are poems so beautiful?

I love this train.

I love the seclusion.

I love the peace and independence.

I love that which family and friends

have no ability to even grasp,

let alone comprehend.
