SONATA
22 April 2011

Dreams splash
into arpeggios and trills
and piano paintings
of laughter and sorrow

and my thoughts rove
along grassland paths
in blazing sunshine
watching buck darting into thickets;
and yellow-billed kites
taunting high thermals;

I jump from stepping stone
to stepping stone
of a sun-sparkling rivulet

and wander into the forest shade
along rooted pathways
to secret rock-lined pools
with little waterfalls
and birdcalls
and frogsong

. . . and I am speechless,
rooted to the living-room floor, enraptured,
long after the sonata’s last note has faded.

Ahhh, music can do this to sensitive listening minds and hearts.

And you listen well, dear Owl, and share your feelings in captivating ways.

Magical.

Love,
