But now, to fill the silence of each day, recordings of those times are my refrain. This piece is one I loved, in moody C, yet there, within its frantic harmonies, I hear a noisy whoosh— what could that be? An errant sound, perhaps a distant wheeze? The climax of the piece approaches soon, and with the stretch still grows the grating scratch. Instead of you, to air my ears attune— Your breath? I gasp, and then my own I catch. Indeed, that huff— it's just your heavy sigh. In music passed, your life will always lie. @valerietauro https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a04ca10b060d854ff5a5dbd/71e7d061-1363-4992-83fa-04773f761c49/haiku+for+my+morning+companion.jpg Instagram haiku for my morning companion squirrel perched on the branch, you chitter so wrathfully. have your acorn back. @valerietauro Image includes ink sketch of a squirrel with "my morning companion" written beside it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a04ca10b060d854ff5a5dbd/ddd691bb-a1c5-4286-8d28-cffd8764c462/1.png Instagram Cumulonimbus, Could you hold my hand Under this sky, Mountains Upon mountains of Low-hanging specters, Ominous in Nature, yet somehow Inviting to My curious eyes— Billowing, Unyielding Sovereignty. https://www.valerietauro.com/new-page daily 0.75 2026-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a04ca10b060d854ff5a5dbd/277096b0-2450-4455-bbe0-d14bfe73cbaf/IOA+physical+composition+notes.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a04ca10b060d854ff5a5dbd/0e612bd1-bb99-449b-9adb-29758df5a667/IMG_5501.jpg https://www.valerietauro.com/writing-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a04ca10b060d854ff5a5dbd/81340dce-a216-453e-9693-cee9f4f7047d/IMG_9180.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a04ca10b060d854ff5a5dbd/55b79abf-5e14-4a4f-8dd6-df7c2e571dfd/haiku+for+my+morning+companion.jpg
