Van Cliburn Nears Heaven, Missing Song

in music as in former countries I feel
a blessedness he said even in Heaven
my shoes fall apart my heart dwindles

and then flames out on a strand of

mere sound.  mere sound was everything.
I was tuned to it; I never spurned the golden

measure fought for over countless nights.

oh, all my angels take flight and bring me back
my own!

the air through the windows seems like a song to

you that can never end

I turned the page

and I was gone
