Adrift of audience, his aged frame supported askew his old grand, his friend,
he recalled the fading moments from recent past as a soliloquy.
The first lilting note.
The first flick of ink.
Alive in his careworn hand he grasped his life’s work as an exclamation, a baton,
and relived the receding moments from ulterior past as a symphony.
The journey of composition.
The harmony of discovery.
Aware within at last he reflected a lopsided smile at the ghost of a great composer
whilst embracing the richest moments from now as a requiem.
The final curtain.
The last haunting flute.
At peace, his mind upon the warm piano top, darkness claimed him sight and soul,
as his life’s work fell from finger tips to the world as a lullaby.

I knew the image this was inspired by right away..how could I forget it.
Brett..these words are absolutely divine. I can feel the music flowing through me after reading this ..it’s absolute bliss. I just love your writing. You are such a poetic storyteller. I believe this, along with the image, is my favourite piece on RB. Without a doubt.

Wow Brett – this could be about Mozart! – I love it!
I particularly like these lines:-
darkness claimed him sight and soul,
as his life’s work fell from finger tips to the world as a lullaby. – what a beautiful way for a composer to spend their last moments!

This is so beautiful that I am sitting here with tears in my eyes! I was led to this by Paul’s lovely photo that holds many, many untold stories in a world of different minds. You have written your words and thoughts with great sensitivity from beginning to end.

This is so beautiful, you show an intimate and unusual understanding of how a musician’s mind works. Very true and perceptive interpretation of the photo.
