Snow Poem by Barry Middleton

Snow



a saxophone is grieving
an instrumental season
is coming to an end

sharp brass is yielding
to muted oboe moods
sadder weather

the violins weep
like willows in the wind
a gray cello rumbles

I feel the kettle drum
like my own heart
percussion of thunder

the voice is like rain
tears of the contralto
she knows my sorrow

she is the vanished girl
a gentle guitar rift
a lost breeze of melody
