What My Heart Never Got A Chance to Say

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. - Thoreau

i wish i could still play

the music that we made that day

before the ocean came along with its uncaring spray

forever washing our melody away

causing me to stutter the swept aria of

what my heart never got a chance to say

.

Author's Note

"Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it." - Thoreau

Quiet desperation, indeed. Perhaps the lives of many still reflect Mr. T's description. On the other hand, maybe they are viewing life from too low a perch.
