Forgotten music hums in gaps, where once the sharps rang like a bell.   
In padded cell of aerogel, where click and hiss exist no more,                                            -aerogel is interesting, brings us to ultra-modern times       of  comfort
like voices blown in shearing wind, I cannot fill the spaces in;                                              -I'm liking click and hiss and thinking it should be                            so ask again, what did you say? What was that? I missed the word,                                  the intro, it's telling of age, signaling reminiscence that only

Surely, the trees are clear, my love, dusk-drawn upon our homely  hill….

Please wake again, I blame myself, kiss me when your memory stirs.
I’m sorry.

Best wishes for your poem.
