Kym,
This is a good poem for the club telling of how war can break spiritual ties too. The sadness it brings can cause the songs in the mind and heart of past happiness.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

Very nicely done. I feel that this poem was written after a terrible time. The end of WW2 for example. Where all hope is lost but there is a small flame. Very creative and well written.

It's going to take much work getting things back together. Too much has happened. The building's can be replaced, however not the lives lost. Thank you for sharing.

Well done. I do like the image of silent strings from instruments once sound. The link with our lost humanity (with our war-torn hearts and lost love) indicates that out hearts were once sound instruments, but are no longer. A sad comment on humanity! Excellent, and thought-provoking.

This is lovely and does, indeed, carry the flavor of either Indian or Japanese syntax. The musician in me especially likes "fall silent like broken strings." That silence is harsh and desolate.

Very well done and enjoyable to read.
