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.
