risking delight while the music plays on
harmonious chords break free from unexpected places
joy bursts loose from sorrow
heartstrings plucked out of hollow scores
a tune like we have never heard before
the music plays on
delight risked, all for a new song
sorrow melted away by fresh notes
harsh gongs left behind, if only for a moment,
emptiness disappears
delight takes its place &
the music plays on…
…this time with a slightly new beat
image and poetry party found at abbey of the arts. join the fun here.

lucy, delightful poetry as usual. I loved the way you used Gilbert's image of "risking delight" as a theme here and the line "heartstrings plucked out of hollow scores" really moves me.
I like the reinvention and potential of the very last line.
