'raise your voice and let's sing together O fallen leaf, O fallen feather! '- it is for lines such as this that I have weathered many a storm in the search..fine writing.
I too have that passion for music and know how it feels to play a piece that means more to you than just the ink on the paper, good job
A good tribute, I liked the opening rhymed couplet and the repeat of the device at the end but think a little more work is needed.
Beautiful tribute... Your words intoned a sort of mesmerizing chant. Wonderful work, Thanks :) ... Marina
