What if?
The piano hits a solitary note
The chord vibrates in my heart
The singular sound wakes emotions
Remembered times reverberate through me
The past meets present day
So many memories to the front
Riding the bus lost in words
Thinking of nothing
Music escapes a rider’s headphones
The piano note rings loud
The piano note rings clear
Holds my day prisoner
Trapped in what could have been
The music takes me where I should have been
Regrets bring me dissatisfaction
A moonlight sonata keeps me company
Even as I sleep with you
The moonlight is dim compared to my recollections
Recollections a reflection in delusion
What could have been?
Circumstances make me happy
Circumstances lead me
Why ask “what if?”
Today brings satisfaction
Yesterday a perfect illusion
Redundancy paints a portrait in black and white
I live in colour
Music always triggers memories both sweet and sad. What would the world be like without music.
