Being

17 May Being

I wrote a song today
sat at a dusty old piano
carved out a tune on tired ivory.

Flimsy cobwebs broke
along unused wires
sent sleeping spiders scattering
as my fingers timidly struck each chord.

Weaving its way
into the world like a newborn
the song reached out
from the silent ether.
