The Musical Note

A musical note
hovering therefore less than an instant
gracefully intertwined

With all the other moments
called notes

Perhaps it is a bold one
grinning there with its pearly whites
shining like the sun

Or maybe it is subtle
quietly indicating the depth
of the note to follow

Perhaps it is lost in itself
indicating nothing for one
who lacks its identity.

As we but walk
through the circus garden
how beautiful we are, whistling our tune
as we go

From a songbook to a songbook
a song
