CHROMATICISM:
A stream in motion,
water flows over pebbles,
touching each in turn,
notes in semitones ascend
or cascade down like water
.
ANTITHESIS:
Opposites become,
dwelling together in time,
up or down the scale
humanity seeks meaning,
good or evilly driven
.
THEMATIC INTER-RELATIONSHIP:
Evolving hearts join
in inter-linking circles,
a stark commingling
of space and line adjoining
returns to places once known
.
TONALITY:
Static expression,
two souls brooding in one key
seek security,
living methodically
with little chance of mishap
.
PIZZICATO:
Violoncellist,
intently interpreting,
ready to evince
staccato sounds, on taut strings,
plucking with fingers and bow
.
ARIA:
Wisdom’s melody
exposing intricate paths,
drawing the hearer
into the deep mysteries
of life’s richer fulfillments
.
MODULATION:
Varied expression,
strategically changing keys
to advance insight,
transitional reflections
reveal treasures once hidden
.
