Studied, his entire life
A prodigy,
he’d been called

And was as comfortable
There,
At the piano

As he had ever been
Anywhere

So, the gifted was gifted

A certain score

A manuscript

Of unparalleled complexity
And unequaled beauty

A literature

Of a nature, he’d never read
And in the reading of it

He knew,
He could never

Play it

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

While the attempt should
always be there...
sometimes, just sometimes...
we should allow originals to just be...

so much in this, Sir...
so very much...

thank you.

To this would be a lesson to learn. Like even a wise person still has a lot to learn.
But I probably read it wrong. Non the less it was good.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

Thank you Sunshine and moon dust, for your thoughts and comments on this.

And I don't think that there is a "wrong" read here, as even the author can see several.

this poem
layered
with many
life moments
even when you think
you have a grasp
life will come along
and say

guess again

but that is what
makes it
fun?

The best way to approach creating art,
is to just create --
let the world decide on its own.

This is
one of those.

Loved it, Ed.

My take on it, is of someone to whom all comes easy. Then he meets the woman of his dreams, and for some reason cannot have her. All the talent in the world will not make happiness, when we cannot be with the one we love. Not sure if that was your intent in the piece, but I liked reading it that way.

I still do not know how to type silence.

I won't even go into what it said to me--it's an onion of a poem, in that it is so layered, and each one makes me weep to think...

ouch.

Timely. I happen to be listening to Keith Jarrett 'The Koln Concert' (1975) as I read this. Talk about a prodigy...I really enjoyed this write.
