A piece about the river bubbling? Or the rolling hills. Winter leaves rustling Or springtime joy. Piano speaking of a yarn spinning Or the night sky in string harmonics Or the conversation of a trumpet and a voice. Maybe. But the sound of time rumbling? A piece about the essence of life? A soundscape that captures all of love? Rather than a small story? The song of the harmony of the spheres? Instead of tops spinning Why associate higher symbolism to something As temporal and recurrent as music? Why project our ideas of what is worthwhile and aim for every word we write? Every note we sing, to be a masterpiece? Instead of just being what it is for itself. A temporal little being.
Mostly I brush life off my shoulder when it falls gently from a tree, or when it grows from my shirt like lint. Mostly i sigh it away like a laugh from an unfounded joke or a waft of extra air in speech. Except sometimes.
