Till a thought glided by, and missed the cue.

Osubeiro

In A major (viola).

On a warm glowing dry sunny day.

A whisper quiet sheltered beach.

The golden sand shimmers and glitters.

Hot and crunchy under your feet.

Riemuio

Look at that picture.

Riemuio.

In B major (viola).

Look at that picture.

A fly on a white wall.

The narrative is alive and distinctive.

The rain is not far to come and fall.

Diomezai

A call for a crashing sound.

Diomezai

In F sharp major (clarinet).

Roll up those booming drums.

Ring up those bourdon bells.

Let them boom, let them swell.

Lisuglare

The sun flags its glare.

Lisuglare

In E major (oboe).

The sun flags its glare.

To think of day off the book.

In the calmness of silence and no hocks.

Brightens nature with no ballyhoo.

Ifolleia

The soprano winked at me.

Ifolleia.

In D major (oboe).

.

The soprano winked at me.

Following the score, was it A, B and then E?

Playfully, the score bounced up and took lead.

Helplessly, I just followed its lead.

Wulstora

A day of an early bed.

Wulstora.

A day of an early bed.

Quite sad to a miserable day.

Thunder, it seems all you get.

Till darkness comes to your pillow head.

Reflections from the Mediterranean.

Ekamylo

Heavy rain came pounding down.

Ekamylo.

In E major (oboe).

Heavy rain came pounding down.

As if the sky was crashing down.

Its force arches your back.

For the strong roof spring it back.

Reflections from the Mediterranean.

Hkeolet

As a guest on Earth.

Hkeolet

In F sharp major (clarinet).

As a guest on Earth.

We receive and then complain.

No hidden plans, but just open plains.

And yet, how do we tread?
