Music

The titillating music Flowed melodiously From somewhere far away It reached my ears That longed to hear Some beautiful melody It swung me from my reverie Into which I had trailed Unknowingly into lands unknown There I grazed with my eyes The receding, fading beauty of nature That once bloomed […]
