Just One Note From You

Just One Note From You

November 2011

The words you say can change my day,

With just one note from you

I can turn my thoughts and dreams around

I can pick myself up off the ground,

With just one note from you

Some thoughts are just worth noting

Some works are just worth quoting

Some songs are just worth singing,

Over, and over, and over, and over,

The rainbow never once refused to shine

And sometimes when the raindrops fall

And when I haven’t had a call

I feel the tears begin to well

At that point in my despair

Between the raindrops or the teardrops

Or the backdrops of memories,

It is there. In the space between sighs

There a note appears dispelling all my fears

Spelling words and spilling rhymes

Like the rainbow and its lines

My lines appear when some

Hope filled light begins to shine

Then reading note or hearing song

Suddenly there’s nothing wrong

My tears were simply prisms

All the breaks and all schisms

Where once I saw a void

Now I see a space, like the ones that

Mark the place between the notes

In greater space a greater hope

I see lines appear like a rainbow in the sky

And one note, one word is all it takes

To turn the tide to fill the space

To quell the fear, to bring the peace

My ears attentively await

And that next note anticipate
