A piece for grief processing in D natural minor. The violin traces a sighing descent (F→E→D→C→Bb), slowly rises through one anguished peak (G4, bar 5-6), then subsides — but the final bar does not resolve to the tonic. The tide recedes; the sea remains. Sustained string harmonies shift from Dm through Gm and C, mirroring the non-linear arc of grief. At 58 BPM the phrases are long enough to hold emotion without rushing toward comfort.
