Adagio

Tom Squitieri

When will the last time a song is played.
The last to hear it.
To smile at it.
When that part of our world
From the long span of time,
those moments that song made for many, finally loses.

Never again to be played
To be heard
Just gone
On a sheet of paper, only, the song will remain.
Perhaps.

Perhaps I wonder too much.

There is no reason
Not to realize
The moment
When perfection
Beauty
And the one
Is here
And want it forever

The beauty we love
The music that is written for us
Given to our distracted ears
To yearn, leap, smile, join
In the magic tide pools
Of our heaven
