A Note Has Fallen

 

A note has fallen, it will be heard.

Silence subsides, for a moment disturbed

That such an intrusion so pure and fine

Beats back the senseless drone of time.

 

A note has fallen, and as it fades

A sadness dawns in this unknown place.

And as silence walks where time ever dwells,

This note has fallen

Somewhere else.
