This Tune

this tune, once a thought

took some time to compose

audience of one

teacher, student,

I am those

eager to learn

mind to hands, in due time

it won’t come with ease,

can’t set it aside

this life that I live,

grateful for what is mine

challenge the brain

one day at a time

A misplayed note,

a lesson learned

looking back I see

that I’m round a turn

Informally trained

I guess that’s by ear,

can’t jot it down,

do you hear what I hear?

Music and words,

a momentary bliss

connecting mind to heart

I need more of this.
