Drops of Color/ Notes
Drops of Color
Notes
Sheets set ablaze.
Scores of ballads ignited,
yet not consumed.
Every note a live ember
rising.
A perfect pitch
lights the rafters overhead
with music.
An inferno of sounds
cradles the room.
A blanket of crescendos
wraps around the listener.
Spellbound, the piece stoked
—a brief rest
—a crisp pop
—a sudden crackle
—sparks of vibrations
extend coloring the pages.
Beyond the enclosure of the
concert hall,
a tiny bird flutters its
feathers.
When it sings,
the song inside itself falls like ashes
from heaven’s canopy.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.
Wings of flames
carry the sparks.
The sun calls it home,
setting into the western sky.
On the other side,
a fire being set
waits for wings to
drop the flames.
The notes await
the conductor’s cue.
Chariots of fire
singe the sheets.
The song plays on
engulfed in cinder
holding a tune.
