Long time.
Well i guess the poem is not about conveying anything, its more about feeling the moment....more about feeling the moment the writer has lived or is imagining to live
Nice..... well written poem, just as always expected of you... somehow i loved ``Heralding Music`` much more , maybe i could relate to it more.
As rightly said by Rahul ... Captured ``the mood of a moment`` beautifully. Thats just your forte to write such poems, your too good at it and getting better.
Keep writing.

Sounds like a ``stream of consciouness `` writing attempt that became too obscure and disjointed to say anything worthwhile. Somehow, the terseness and word scarcity does not convey much.

It is too abstract for me. I couldn`t get it; though I am guilty of doing the same in my teenage years.
