Every Lost Moment


Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony’s my
favourite – allegretto it says in my MP3
download - conducted by Herbert von
Karajan, all sadness and regret without
a specific event causing the pain felt

I cry for every lost chance, every lost
dream, every lost moment – then the
music flows on and brings the promise
of finding a new dream, to hang on to
my lodestar-ideals while reaching for

The new, the unheard of, the beauty
I can’t fathom right now, sounding like
purity, excitement and delight; the soft
violin strings sounding like rain before
the storm builds up again, Bluebeard

Stalks in, a heart full of hatred & wrath
because the lady dared to enter his vault
with evidence of the murder in his heart,
the music slows and the story changes,
Bluebeard spares her life, forgiveness

Of his hasty spirit saved her life, changed
him into the strong knight he aspired to
be – such a glorious symphony-
