ONE

A HALF HAND REACHES OUT
'DONT' SAYS THE VOICE
'PULL BACK'
' I UNDERSTAND, IT IS NOT MY TIME'.
AND SO HALF HAND RETREATED.
THE MUSIC BEGAN AND IT WAS A FRIEND
THE NOTES BEGAN TO FILL THE SPACES
AND THE LYRICS BUFFERED ANY
DRAFTS NOT FILLED IN BY THE NOTES
AND THE HALF HAND FIRST FELT PAIN.
'IT IS YOUR TIME TO CRY' SAID THE VOICE
HALF HAND FELT THE JOY OF TEARS AND SORROW.
THE NOTES MOVED.
THE LYRICS GREW.
AND AS THEY DID,
THE LENGTH OF IT'S EXPANSE GREW RESOLUTE.
THE RESOLUTION HEARD THE VOICE AND ABANDONED FEAR AND EGO.
THE VOICE SAID
'EXTEND YOUR GRASP'
THE MUSIC PULSED
'IT IS YOUR TIME'
WITH FEELING RESTORED, HALF HAND ASKED
'AM I ENOUGH'?
THE VOICE BELLOWED
' YOU ARE NOW WHOLE'.
