Falling Stars

(9 Olaesta 5115; during the false dawn, an aside from the Harp) Stars fell into almost dawn’s fire as she wrought music from me I did not know I could even conceive. Phrases that are deep in wonder, weightless as magic, and driving our song to a new, immersive work of layered inspirations. I tell her my pleasure in this. She seems to warm to me for an instant. I sing her name. I sing my name; I sing my love of her in ardent...

Exposition

(3 Charlatos 5115; moments after midnight, an aside from the Harp) Her arms rock me with every measure; her fingers graze across my strings, fated to lift me to heights I could never reach without her. I hear her queries to me: in her voice, in her music, in her body. I offer her my best, and there, she sings the descant with me, moving around my offered notes with a tender grace. Ach! I reach once more for her… “Yes...

Right Here Waiting

(13 Fashanos 5115; moments after midnight, an aside from the Harp) She returns from the burning dark to me, whole. I hear the song in her soul once more. Relief fills me with joy as her soft voice reaches for me and explores a new song upon my strings. I lift my voice to sing with her, exploring the music’s every give and take. “Was that a response to me?” I wonder as she moves with the harmony. “Dearest one, I...

What Are Words?

(12 Fashanos 5115, An aside from the Harp) I feel the crash of her soul the moment her eyes open. She is still so distant, but yet, turns to me. Ach! There is naught I can do for her but be. Here. With her. Her anguish overwhelms everything, burning; everything except my need for her. She drowns in me, and I can but be the instrument of her undoing. “Dear one? Hear how I cherish you. Now. With…you.” There is no...

Be With You

(3 Fashanos 5115: An aside from the harp – confusion) She speaks to everyone else. Rarely to me. Why? I pour my heart out to her, and she does not hear me. There is a fascination when she moves, Each nuance is a wonderment. The ache overwhelms all.  ...

Let It Be – Me

(30 Lormesta 5115: An aside – from the harp) She speaks to me. In words tender, In songs so wistful I could burst. I echo her mood, conforming to the yearning in her voice. I surrender everything to her. She does not hear me! I long to hear my name upon her lips. Her touch upon my very soul. I ache, she consumes my every thought....

Hello!

(11 Lormesta 5115: An aside – the harp’s exclamation) The young elf hears my voice; a brilliance of joy fills me. I reach for her again, learning how to move her. She does not hear more. Her touch is warm, her caress moves me. I need; her. Music, must, with her. O, the ache of her.    ...

The Awakening

(1 Lormesta 5115: An aside – the harp’s interjection) The young elf sings me her name in the night; her secret name. Liquid, warm and precious, splashes upon my heartwood. It is my first memory. My thought next, a probing wonderment. But she does not hear. I have so many questions. But foremost of all, “Is she mine?” Now I wait. For her. Music make. With her. Oh, the ache of her.  ...
