It’s only a flute, but its so good
It makes the tiniest sounds, so cool
Sounds so small and so cute
Coming from so narrow a chute
This tiny piece is a brute, something of an a-hole
Peppering and punishing the lips with it’s blow hole.
This flute whose sounds so soothes
Magical, its effects chasing away unwanted soot
Its melodious timbre flows so smooth
When played under the embrace of the moonlit skies
Its so small yet so strong
Its voice carried far and all night long
Into the far reaches of hearts once high-strung
Melting away all the fears harbored there so long.
This flute will play,
Even when the owner is no more
This flute will keep singing its song
Yes, it will not be silent for long
Soon, it finds another windpipe young and strong
Through which it will once more delight a throng.

Merci.

I suspect shai didn’t even know the depth of what he scribed. Perhaps, he was actually writing about a flute and nothing more. Make una no let the guy claim something he didn’t intend.
“The sound carried far..”
“Carries far” fits better.

Noted. Thanks.

I think it’s just about the change that moves society; people come, people go. Messages are still the same though medium and messanger may change. Generations passing; each doing what the past has done in newer ways and forms.
Bros @shai…you deep o. The structure of this alone gan na die. You sure got my attention with this.
@queenzayta Thank you. You ‘opened’ our eyes to another level of the message.
I’m glad you like what you read and found something to hold on to….hehehe.
This is good Shai. I like the graphic effects, it teases the eyes.
I don’t think there’s any deeper meaning to this, or is there?
Well, I am sure that is a rhetorical question.
