His flute played a melody
Poetry floating in the air
Words written to the wind
Soothing minds
Stilling dreams

His music caught the sunset
Glittering in the moonlight
Notes painted in the sky
And the wonders of his music
Reaching the heart of the soul

Softly trilled his tones
Gossamer sounds of darkness
Ballads of the nightwind
An assurance
For all

Dedicated to Ray Thomas.

Writing this poem together with Yvonne Forsling "The Flute Player" was a wonderfull experience. It unlocked something and hopefully there will be some more updates with new poems and lyrics. As we finished the poem it seems fitting to dedicate it to Ray Thomas. Thanks Yvonne!
