from blue
to grey
the notes play
on my mind

Mournful
saxophone
tempered
with wooden flute

trip sadly

drip slowly

and combine
in blue
and grey
overtures
of
distance

I like it, the sounds of it, but I've figured hout what things are being like the instruments because I have the feeling it is not the instruments themselves.  Say "Sheesh!" or whatever, but I'd love help on this.

VAS.. it's as simple or complex as thoughts...which play like music and may take the tones and sounds of instruments.

Some thoughts take us places with the feelings they invoke which also have tonality and color...or at least in my warped brain they do...
Hope that helps... sometimes I am pretty obscure and vague... so I am sure it isn't your issue but mine in being more clear...

Thanks as always for the comment!!!!

I like the title and its theme.  It plays with the arrangement of lines, even if it sounds a little sad.  I note that you are in tune with your vibes hear...  you got me to listen for the string which ties together these thoughts and bands them as a group, but the part that solo'd out for me was the last phrase...  Thanks, Ron.

Yes, this is good.  No notes needed here (I can hear it, that is).  Thank you for sharing.

well done. . .
