The Music Room Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Music Room

original drawing w/horn, mutes, music stand: 8" x 10"

Can you hear me now?

from dimples to pimples to wrinkles 

and then

those once hard won triumphs

are insults instead

there’s coming of age

finding the way

and fam'ly and playing

and later creating

it’s boasting

then coasting

and loss once again

can You hear me, i said

i’m no longer fit 

to see, hear or be

oh, just let me sit

can You hear me, i plead

when it feels said and done

those battles hard won

were most of the fun

now it’s coming undone

can You hear me, i fear

that You can’t, that’s okay

’twas only a day

among so many years
