Symphony of The Heart

 

What can I say to you,

now that you’re gone

Your ears, they won’t hear me,

 no music to my song

you were here for a little while

the symphony so loud

Just two voices in the choir

Heard above the crowd.

Then one by one you took them

The trumpet, strings and harp

The music slowly faded

Like the slow beat of my heart.

Nothing left to listen

But the sad sound of one voice

Echoing regret and loss

And paying for your choice.

Decisions took for granted

Another chance may come

There’s no more time to start again

Your only chance, this one.

So now I hold the music

To start a brand new song

I can’t play the song you chose

The music was all wrong.

I’ll jot the notes on paper

And make a clean, fresh start

Someone else will play my song

And hear the music of my heart.

[V. Lucien Maier]

good, you pull your reader in the first few lines and hold them. The mixture of music with words is alluring, and makes this a unique piece among thousands of stall pieces on the same subject. good work.

A sad write, but with a hopeful ending. Enjoyed. PS

[Ladysue]

Oh this was so beautiful; sad, but it has a lot of hope in it too. I absolutely love these lines...
Someone else will play my song
And hear the music of my heart.

They are gorgeous and filled with hope and wisdom.

A sensational piece!

[Sheila Kline]

Yes, when the end of the song has been reached, it is time to take a final bow, and move on!
Well done with an interesting theme.

Lovely job... I know the feeling in a sense, but I can't think of anything else to say, which is a good thing :) Well done!

It amazes me that peope can not hear, can not see, and can not feel.
"I see dead poeple, but they do not know they are dead"
The so called living are just waiting to die when they have given up on life.
Keep writing your poetry and your Symphony.
We love the beat of your heart and the music of your soul.
