GOLD GARLAND

Golden notes litter the carpeting
from a wire garland of
half notes and whole notes
and signatures

I want to string it around our
earth flag, for she sings
day and night. We don't hear.

I want to wind it around
our bedroom curtain rod
for the strength of music
in our love.

I find a home for
the little garland on the
blue spruce in the back yard:
harmony for the whole universe.

I really smile to think of you making the final decision to hang the garland in the tree thereby in a symbolic act sharing the music with the world. I am quite sure also you already have the strength of music in your love. How could you not ? Interesting was the fact that as I read this poat I heard the wind chimes on my deck singing I so rarely hear them through the window, or even at all ..... Radha
