The piece ‘Three Dialogues’ was written with the intent of a monologue disguised as a dialogue to another. When this piece began, I assembled three poems separated by the time they were written, and related to each other only by their intention. Each movement can be performed individually, but for the intended effect and meaning of the piece to be felt, the piece in its entirety should be performed as written. It is my intention to convey a dialogue covering love, introspection, and the value of self expression, and I encourage all to make their own interpretation of the work as I view all interpretations to be correct.

I. Stay

Stay. Please, Stay.

Footsteps in the dark,

Nothing seen is everything.

I am the sum of my parts.

Should I lose one, I am fleeting.

I am the tree, the leaf, the bug.

Think of me when you walk.

Think of me as you step on that leaf.

Think of me while you

Rest upon that tree.

II. When Day Breaks

See through their eyes,

For there was never a more

Beautiful yet horrifying view

Than that of everything in-between.

When day breaks you wake,

For you and I never knew anything more

Than blue skies and white lies,

Yet countless others knew nothing at all.

Now, walk through fertile fields with me.

Let us share what they may never know.

III. Forevermore

‍

Run through this field,

In search of obvious purpose,

And bask in the golden ocean

Gilded with specks of

Restlessness and beauty.

Melt away in this field.

Let us be consumed by loving embrace.

Forget all sullen ashen hopes and

Hold me tightly in your arms.

Squeeze me as if I were only

Seconds from having

Never existed at all.

Let our thoughts and our hearts

Run free in this field.

This passion assuaged us of

Hatred from laughing eyes.

Those eyes saw nothing of this love,

Our love, forever, and forevermore.
