Memory
~~~~~
Music alone
can carry us
to lands far-off
in distance, time,
where we remember
or we imagine
where we are,
how we feel.
The stately motion,
a wandering river.
Hear birds sing
sweetly, as they flit
along the shore.
Though we sail past,
leave them behind;
they are with us, still.
Do we hear them?
Is it only memory?
Why does it matter?
