Yes. It comes from deep water And floats with the wind in the foam and is beached and bleached,Lying still for a movement or two, then floating fartherTo enter the mind’s many chambers, as Mozart perhaps,Or Bach, or whatever -it changes,But always I like it.I think that it could beThe music of poetry, true to the temper and pulseOf each flutelike, bassoonlike image that pads or fluttersWithin in the midnight recesses, yet true tooTo its own poor selfless self, bare yet bearingFrom way, way over yonder its theme of old blossomings:Temples in orchards, rites, supplications, art.Information about how it was composed at:https://www.gabrielruizbernal.com/the-music-of-driftwood.html
