For Keeps

Marko Djordjevic

sound
A sound made in earnest,
Will never cease
Nor desist…
It has its way
Of staying
Above the fray
Sonic fabric
Strong enough to be
Cut into
Uniqueforms
A foray into
The ear divine!
To make sounds
In earnest;
To exist
Only up to one’s
Potential
Outside of the parade
Of sounds which fade,
Desist
And cease to exist
Just as soon as they are made.
