without time on his side
life is short but music lasts forever
this much he knew
he wanted to be taller
but accepted his shortness
decided it would be best
to focus on music
finding ways to make it beautiful
varying in duration
adding meaningful lyrics
seemingly conjured out of thin air
fully believing
he was paving the way for the future
the music in his ear
suddenly vanished
leaving behind a number of works
he had created
in a very short period of time
september two thousand twenty-four

Interesting piece. It brought to mind a few different musicians and composers I’m familiar with.
A couple of nights ago I listened to a Chris Cornell interview…thanks for visiting & sharing your thoughts.
