write me a serenade

by

suzanne m steiner

 

 

 

 

 

Write me a serenade

Then play it so gently

Yet colored with strength

Exquisite notes of memory

Steady chords of honesty

Sweet arpeggios of truth

Its how I so need it now.

Dancing, floating across the

Tiny hairs of my audio curls

Seeping slowing into my

Hungry still mind, and

Nurturing my needy soul.

Write me a serenade

Then play it for me

In the silence, with joy

Balanced so gingerly now

On the edge of the universe.
