fly away, melody

Bryan Milstead

– A poem dedicated to all fellow violinists, instrumentalists, and music enthusiasts –

fleeting reverie

music and mind intertwine

notes and tones enshrined

tempo tempts psyche

cherish each perishing note

melodies take flight

embrace the songbird

euphony drips from its wings

halcyon trickle

nurture its whistle

reverberant memories

new ones are composed
