a barren autopsy
of ourselves;
the lack of compassion
for a deep sense of lost
and stolen innocence
what do we see
when we look in the mirror
on cold December nights
but the tears of children
falling from our eyes …
As a society we are becoming numb to reason. And as a consequence, we may one day lose our humanity.
years ago
it felt like yesterday
the last train to the beach
all too often
life brings us full circle
with a response too late
This is an exceptional piece written by Dosia Mckay for clarinet and piano. It is entitled: Two Moods for Clarinet and Piano
I would like to share with you a video of a recent performance by Steve Loew and Daniel Weiser in a house concert in Arden, NC where they presented my Two Moods for Clarinet and Piano. The first movement, Haunted, illustrates an eerie, suspenseful feeling, intertwined with passages of sheer panic and terror. Here I wanted to recall and confront my childhood fear of being left alone in the dark.
Score and parts are available for purchase here.
The night was falling
into a distant rumble;
churning and grinding
like tearful strokes
dreaming in memories;
the sound
and the acid smell of diesel
eating away this very moment
our every gesture of things promised
Beauty, in all its delicacy fades and re-emerges.
here on this sacred ground
bathed in the light of life
a simple place to rest
an endless echo of memories
timelessly reverberating
– adrift
in a fathomless canyon
an endless road of memories
a journey of searching dreams
the place to find what was lost
struggling with that past
living with the evolution
knowing you’ve never evolved
