Chess in JA

Music, music,music....... A clearing in a deep forest A lover's faithless cry. The soft caress of a tropical night, This drifting, preening sky... The sea, full of a murderous innocence. A locked door... Orchids blooming by deserted streams. Music is the thread... Yet stronger than the strongest thread. With all the blue weight of the world, It will not break. With all the sad hopes of the street, It will not break It will not break for beauty's touch But still will shape its music rough As diamonds in the gentle earth Spin visions out of ancient dust.
