I miss you Angel of Music

I miss the sweet melody of your voice,
each sound touching my beating heart,
giving life forward rhythmic momentum and meaning.

I miss the harmony of our friendship
when we would share our inner thoughts and
resonating silences, till the next time we spoke.

I miss the colourful tonalities with which you expressed
the many moods of the moment, never knowing
if there would be a sense of happiness, sadness, anger or contentment
in each nuance.

I miss the tempo with which you strove for
"Hey presto" with your intense work ethic.
The driving force behind the wheel.

I miss your dynamic nature,
soft and compelling one moment lulling me into
a false sense of security,
then loud and brash,
shattering my very existence with words
of disdain.

Angel of Music, you guide my hands
upon the keys of life and I respond
with outpouring of sound not of my making,
but of the inner light with which
you guide my path.

I miss you Angel of Music.
You and you alone
can break this dramatic silence, for 
a whole note rest feels like a life time of
dissonant torture.
One melodic phrase of your voice
will bring tranquility and peace.
