Sheet Music



not in haste
nor mythical nirvana
neither tranquil respite
or rapacious rush of unchecked urgency

sounds covet the delicate unison
linger over exhalations
stumble on a new rhythm
scale the chords 
of vanishing horizons of history

notes curve gracefully
against the wind of time
that moves us

timpani of hearts
fill the space that holds us

our bed
an orchestra pit
our love
the dove feather floating
to the music that we make

  1. beautifully evocative - as I read aloud the words 'rapacious rush of unchecked urgency', I felt a flush of energy rise from my thighs to my face... and imagine, our bed, an orchestra pit - just feel that! These words woo the ear that is remembering how to listen... thank you Jana
