Aching melodies
       and movements
scratched into the time
left behind. Substantial still.
         Let your ears go there.
              Your soul will listen
     as much as it hears
      what it needs to.
             Shadows and silence
    now staves onto which
we compose symphonies
for those who may never
          know the music,
      and a sonata for the ones
                               we think might.
