A Lesser God

You can not fault me for loving
music, could I have known your ear
incapable of comprehending the octave
of my life song –

Should I, could I, forsake a Chopin
for a Tennyson? Would you, could you,
forsake a T.S. Eliot for a Bach?

Granted within the eyes of lesser gods
still resides a greatness, just not
the greatness of
the God we seek ----
