First time I heard it was on the classical station in the middle of one of those wakeful nightmares - teddy bears and baby doll too afraid to sleep for fear of the breathing shadows, cowered wide-eyed in yesterday’s terrified corners. Freed from attic madness, ropes of a stairwell prison, yet trapped in another silent place, a voiceless room with creaking stairs, thundering heartbeats and echoing, echoing, echoing footsteps. When the Requiem started it seemed as though guardian angel absent so long, climbed down the golden stair, flooded the room with peace bringing the Light, music composed in the heart of a suffering god, whispered to Mozart’s ear.

Sometimes even a poet or lyricist can’t find the words to express what lies deepest in the heart - only music knows the key to open walled gardens where passions brilliant as the morning star disappear in twilight’s fading colors, valleys where sorrows crater through mist and dreams withered by cruelest frost turn into distant stars. Though broken hearts continue to beat, sobs drawn by deepest wounds close up the throat -- how well Puccini knew.
