On a pedestal you placed my shining magnificence,
And you heard me, awestruck by my tuneful quintessence,
Trickling down the distance,
I’m invisible, yet you knew my presence.
Transcending barriers of time and space,
I am Music, once your epitome of grace.
There’s far too much to be expressed,
Yet not so easily confessed,
When with my harmonious elixir you were blessed,
Your heart on my soft feathers lay at rest.
Silhouetted against the tumult of your passions,
I am Music, once your strength and compassion.
Whether failure shatters you and reproaches you aloud,
Or of a triumph you are joyful and proud,
My sweet and soulful sounds have solemnly vowed,
To stand by you forever, despite the changing crowd.
Committed to you, devoted to you,
I am Music, pure and true.
No time for oblivious dreaming,
Coarse lines on your face are seaming,
Without drops of my melodic sunshine gleaming,
On the bleak chambers of your soul that need redeeming.
As time flies, I diminish in your memory,
Alas Music has little place in your treasury.
YOU created ME, and I am your gift,
As far as you wish me to, I will drift,
Or not? I pray, my love, that you heal our rift,
And WE shall thrive forever even as the currents of life shift!
