Maestro ┬┬┬ ┬┬┬ ┬┬┬ Life’s foray sanctions my every thought of you. Should I be as a clavichord absorbed into metrical play, reverberating against a host of brass strings, in a fanfare of melodic tune? Or should I be that breath of tympani, understood silently, to gently stay? What genius thought should pass through my mind a concerto “Una vita di canzone” or, reflective passages from Leopold's best-selling treatise? Which keyed fret or tensioned reed will sustain those hearty notes I should play? Or, Should I exit stage right, or stage left, or render inoperative in stage fright? Or shall I be center stage, become a prop, a perforated stand and be happily content stay? Choices appear to be old wine – turned to vinegar-varnish over all this time; So, With my bow in hand Stradivarius tucked beneath my chin I fake in “Meditation from Thaïs” by Albert Stern, and meticulously continue to pretend… ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Maranatha! [This message has been edited by JL (01-21-2012 11:23 PM).] |

Truly emotionally filled poetry cannot be faked. It is as sweetly moving as Pachelbel's Canon in D. |

Or should I be that breath of tympani, understood silently, to gently stay? I remember when I fell in love with the sound of the tympani... and still fall silent every time I hear it, just to enjoy. *S* A beautiful word symphony you've written! |

I can certainly relate to the "pretending" part... Stems from years of never figuring out who I really was or what I wanted... So I ended up playing many tunes, trying to please others. Good write... Glad you reposted it. Michael |

My dear friend, there is no way to hide greatness, for talent shines, one way or the other. I will be gone for a few days beginning Thursday... write me some poems to come home to, will you? |
