A piano was softly playing in the background of their minds It's fullness delicately hearable in every keystroke A beautiful autumn day with the windows slightly open The music slowly drifting across to the playground Two children lie in the leaves looking at the always moving sky Make shapes in the clouds with their wonderful imaginations A beautiful melody connecting him and her much more than their young minds could think The music so lovely yet so underliningly disdainful Her hand enveloped his as she rolled over to look in his hazel eyes
He looks out the window now a man of twenty five To the playground where he met a girl very many years ago He remembers this house from so long ago The piano now moved to the window He sits down to play but only one melody comes to mind A haunting but beautiful melody with slight disdain He cannot remember where he has heard it before but his hazel eyes start to cry A beautiful autumn day with the windows slightly open As he wipes the tears away he smiles for his daughter now lies with a boy in the leaves Her eyes so dark and brown remind him of his wife he lost but only a few years ago She asked him one wish to move where they fell in love He remembered a melody where they fell in love This melody forever haunting him
Inspired by The cloud Atlas Sextext for Orchestra. The melody I felt I had to write about.
