In a cumbersome transom blended With a tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap Of a horse drawn carriage – Therein a song is revealed. Where else but in silent music do dreams Blend reality with one’s emotions? Aye - there in my mind’s eye - Tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap, tap-ta-tap. Do I have any life but this? Tap - If not - let me lead it from here. Ta - No death there be ‘lest - Tap - Dispelled from there.

Nostalgic piece about thoughts of times long past and about the sounds, sights and smells that time travel one to previous times.
