Unfinished requiem

Lorenz

"Who are you ,you who lean over 

my bed of suffering ? "

- '' -You  know me,after all ,

I am the time traveler ! ''

 -'' Yes I remember ...

It was a long time ago ! 

So I will present myself 

before him ,what will 

 he tell me ? 

I ,who have lived 

only for music and fantasy ? ''

 - '' he will say to you :

Sit down at this heavenly

harpsichord my dear Wolfgang 

and play me the final of this requiem 

 that I commissioned from you !

 And an indigo child will perceive it

from the limbo ! ''

 -" Can it be ,traveler, that is truly 

an eternal return ? ''

 -Amadeus , the music of the spheres

is engraved in the score of eternity ! ''

-'' You can now rest ! 

I will come back and bow over your cradle .

In the features of a mother 

who will offer you her milk .

 You will recognize me ,

  I ,the time traveler  !

A  compassionate hand closed his eyes.

his lips froze on a memory .

'' Sire all of Paris is enamored 

with this little prodigy ! ''

 His remains were carried 

to a massgrave .

Like the music of an unfinished requiem .

  This how men live .

    Requiem in d minor one of my favorite pieces and I always wonder how different it might be if he had finished it for as I understand he wrote only a small part of it. A great poem

    • Lorenz

      What an impressive composition ! Especially this sublime depth of the lacrymosa !

            • Lorenz

              It can be a bit exhausting at time !

              • Priya Tomar

                No worries , Genius !

                • Lorenz

                  Fortunately I have my (genius ) Ego under control !

                  • Priya Tomar

                    That's good.
                    I think ego is a hidden enemy !

                    • Lorenz

                      Ego can be under control not hubris !

                    • Ellen Marsell

                      This poem moves with its sorrowful tenderness. It is at once mournful and consoling: mournful, for the voice falters upon a memory; consoling, for the music, though unfinished, still lingers in the limbo, echoing in the hearts of those who listen. An incredibly profound creation!

                      • Lorenz

                        Does nt fear incompleteness .It is there a promise of continuation .
