Concierto de Ajuanuaz
an ekphrastic haibun
A boy begins to lose his sight at three years of age, eventually becoming totally blind. He studies musical braille, learns the piano, the violin, the guitar. He composes for each, becomes known and helps to elevate the guitar to an essential orchestral instrument.
perfumed paseos
sweeping crescendos
from his guitar
trickling fountains
a cool spray to taste
what cannot be seen
the Garden Aranjuaz
rising melodies
in the fragrances

Thank you, Doug. Rodrigo's concerto sends me soaring into a peaceful plane free of anything negative, if only for 10 minutes.
