This spoke volumes to me I always seemed to be obtuse enough to find myself cast - off, on the side, damn I liked Chess that already is an instant deterrent for any form of communication with the female species. Imagine that moment of Hey what do you do? I spend countless hours on a wooden board. A lugubrious silence after that. Then my desire for music that attracted very few and so it went and has gone. Even nowadays with people like minded I still get them raising eyebrows of weirdness. Love the way you confine some people by telling them that they are either black or white. Thinking imaginatively is a gift in my view.
This brings me back to high school...
I like how you tied this into piano music.
Yes, we all get trapped in black and white judgments of others. It is good to have solid beliefs for your life and for your personal soul, but when we project our belief systems it feels painful and it disconnects us from those we could have as friends.
I think we all have "ghost fleets" of what could have been following the voyage of our lives.
Wonderful poetry here Frontier. I enjoyed the read and the further pondering as the overtones of your thoughts hang gently in the lines your so thoughtfully penned.
I really really like this poem it took me places. There are parts of this specifically the beginning that I feel could be the sound track to my life. You never fail to impress me. Great Write!

I'm very glad it took you places, Jessica, glad it felt close to your inner self. Thanks :)
This is very interesting. I do like the way it ends and don't know if continuing would help its case, i think brevety is a plus here. You create a range of emotions and images that are both fun and intriguing. Love it!
