the song

an idea, an
emotion, a
thought, a
moment, a
melody, a
rhythm, a
note, a
particle, a
building block,  a
modicum of a song,
jotted on paper, a notebook, a phone, remembered   

the abstract becomes concrete, thoughts become melodies, feelings become chords,
motifs, harmony, lyrics, changes, progressions, hooks, verses, choruses, bridges,
concertos, arias, symphonies, suites,
in my head and
on paper

anticipation, practice, rehearsal, and
performance,
the final note is played
in that moment
time stops,
it is gone
