Bailey Hall
I love you in the silence after sound
in echoes of your old memories
in who you are
and who you once were
I love you as footfalls
down old paths
into empty spaces
filled with whispered sounds
of voices long lost.
I love you as the note rings true
out of the throats of birds
as the string is struck
resonating endlessly forward.
I love you when the crow caws
evening, evening, evening
as the sun settles himself
and the curtain of twilight falls
I love you as I dream you here
imagine the soft weight of your fingertips
pressing in
what notes you sound from me
tuning my soul
that now mute
waits for you to play on.

Wow Corbygirl that is really something...reminiscing about days gone by and your memories and attachments to your old 'Alma Mata', Bailey Hall, Cornell University...? :) xoxox
Nope, not my Alma Mata, just a visitor playing with an idea of a place with some emotions I am dealing with, an artistic rendition of a place...

Well it is lovely anyway, amazing how places can take us through a whole sequence of emotions, stimulate our imagination, artistic & otherwise. :)
