life's vibrations

when mine ears capture the vibrations of violin strings

or the soft sounds of a classical piece on a guitar, ivories

on a piano sounding the melancholy of the fingers that

are playing them, the vibrations of these frets and bars

capture a moment in time for my spirit to dance and for

my heart to poke the lacrimal ducts of mine eyes to

release tears of joy and lament, the tears of life…

all this is not unlike the leaves’ attire in Nature when first

captured in the Spring where the radiance of the Sun’s rays

lay gently upon their petals in the early morn still wearing

dew, for this aesthetic look is what is its summer wear and

unlike the animal species covers for the cool of Autumn’s

touch, they undress to color the Fall by exposing their true

nature after riding the vibrations of their life’s sojourn…
