There’s a young man playing piano quietly
towards the back of the room.

I strain to hear the melody
knowing if I can string the notes together
if only in my mind
our dance will begin
again.

:::sigh:::
I've done my own share
of note stringing...
I really like this.

Like something just out of reach - the strophes cast a promising spell.

Has an Eliot-ish feel to it. Nice, Duncan.

Powerful piece that provokes the mind to remember and the heart to feel. Nice going.

I enjoyed it.....
Few words......and just leave so many possibilities behind them.....

Thank you
