Two Wrong Notes (with audio)

Image found here on Pinterest One wrong note at a time a fumble of loud mistakes too noticeable to cover up  too obvious to pretend it didn’t happen One stumbling scale after another I should be able to play better than this Is there any way to incorporate wrong notes  so they sound purposeful?  One heart trying striving to improve but effort doesn’tContinueContinue reading “Two Wrong Notes (with audio)”

Restraint (with audio)

Lone Lights (with audio)

Original image found here on Pinterest A lone light glows across the street – an amber intruder upon midnight shadows I wonder what’s going on inside that house is it something that shouldn’t be exposed?
