The Softest Note
Did you hear the softest note?
The undertone singing its heart out beneath the cacophony?
Like a speck of glitter falling off a child’s face
Or the last light of a dying star
It is there for a moment … but only if you are looking for it.
A blink will obscure it,
A sigh will mute it.
When I’m gone, will I be remembered like that softest note?
Or will people wonder if they just imagined me…
Like a whisper in a crowd.
