This piece was written in a single session today, June 28, 2023, and recorded immediately. I am curious to see how it evolves. Listen kindly.

'Maple Keys' - Noel Christian Riddell

Summertime comes
As the maple keys fall
The clouds let the sun
From behind the wall

My mind is clear
And I'm awake
I think I'm ready now
To board that train

And it all comes clear to me
Just where I am supposed to be

I have climbed
A snowy mountainside
Stood beneath the moon
In the midnight tide

Been swept away
On a young girl's kiss
I took my shots
Sometimes I have missed

And it all comes clear to me
Just where I am supposed to be

Strip mall lights
Are brighter than the stars
I feel like a firefly
In a jar

It's been too long
And I can't stay
Just like a bird
I'll fly away

And it all comes clear to me
Just where I am supposed to be
