I enjoyed the musical terms a lot (naturally). But I think it’s more that’s there’s lots of soft S and Vowel sounds that give a gentleness to the whole phonetic flow of the piece..
Delighted by the musical metaphors running through this one. And it's just oozing with tenderness. The tenderness of endings, liminal spaces, and beginnings...
Thank you for your poem, your thoughts, and for giving me my word of the day : pericardium
which I'm afraid was not in my vocabulary, but is now.
I'm thankful for the technology that allows me to hear the correct pronunciation for words that I know from reading but never hear in conversation, like interlocutor and paradigm
Married 46 years. Loved this stanza;
While you’re not looking,
I carry us around like a bag of rocks.
Under my pericardium,
I have stitched your soul a temporary home.
To offer some respite,
To rediscover permanency
Oh! I am glad you like that stanza. It means a lot to me.
Me, too. I felt it. ✨
Beautiful and moving - there is nothing better than to find true love in the best of friends ❤️
I loved this. Spot on observations.
I like the metaphor of romantic relationship over time to musical movements and variations. It works.
This is beautiful. As is choosing each other again. And again. And again. 💛✨
Beautiful word choices..
Thank you, what ones stood out?

With all endings come new beginnings - and beginnings are beautiful x
So moving. Deeply relatable. Thank you.
Thank you :)
