Ah, the piano The moment I arrive I sit on my bench And I play... Oh how I play! The “Moonlight Sonata” is my favorite Flowing through my fingertips Like water from the falls Like poetry from a pen All the stress, the cares, the worries Flow out with this beautiful piece I paint pictures with my fingers A beautiful night, filled with moonlight Surrounds me, like a sweet dream As I continue to play... Oh how I play! Whenever I need to get away I can just sit down And paint pictures with my fingertips Pictures that could never exist Without this beautiful music It’s amazing what beauty we can create Only playing another composer’s piece Bringing back to earth, a life That has been gone for years Bringing to life Notes from paper... Ah, the piano... "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

LoveBug~ It is lovely to know you can bring the masters alive with a touch of the fingertips. You make it sound so fullfilling. That's the feelings I get when I play. Keep playing, hon. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I love Moonlight Sonata - -never could play some of that middle part, over my piano playing skills ---) My sister plays it beautifully as I am sure you do. I think everyone should play an instrument at sometime in their lives. Wonderful Poem --- ~netswan |

LB this is a wonderful poem and I envy you so.. I have always wished I could play the piano. I know it would be so relaxing and calming. take care, jm There are places inside our souls ... that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts ... that need to be loved this much. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ...

I too, really enjoyed this LB. And I too, have always wished I could play. Even have one sitting in my living room, but all I've been able to accomplish is dream. Thanks for the read. jwesley |

LoveBug, this is beautiful...I want to learn how to play the piano. I sing frequently and I'm in choir at my High School, but I think being able to play would add a whole other dimention to it...thanks for sharing this, I loved it! *Krista Knutson* "Thought is real, physical is the illusion..."

Really like the title of this poem and the words express so well the beauty that comes from the appreciation of playing the piano. ~~well done~~ A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
