Postlude

Forgotten, grown old,
busying the days,
little essential,
confused memories scold
from afar, segues
lack the potential
to steer or reform
cloistered attitudes.
While those absent warm
cliched platitudes,
the music retards,
crescendo sotto
voce, bravo regards,
cut flowers...grotto.

Wow, I can't believe you keep making it better.....hmmmmm, reminds me of something Balladeer said about Barbara Streisand and her striving for perfection in her recording of a particular piece. I guess that is the sign of a truly talented person!
Well done, H.A.!
