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 


The author's comments:

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.

This is amazing! It reminds me of Kazuha from Genshin Impact. He makes a lot of poems for any situation.
