fly away, melody
fleeting reverie
music and mind intertwine
notes and tones enshrined
tempo tempts psyche
cherish each perishing note
melodies take flight
embrace the songbird
euphony drips from its wings
halcyon trickle
nurture its whistle
reverberant memories
new ones are composed

I wrote "fly away, melody" after reflecting upon a common cycle I undergo as a violinist: learning a piece, performing it, and then burying it in the depths of my folder as if it never existed. This poem is an acknowledgment of all the musical compositions I have forgotten about and/or severely under-appreciated.
