Once, as a young man
He sat at this very stand
Playing the keys
to ears that pleased
Hours spent fondly
gathering her love

He'd gaze out the window
Compose symphonies
upon the ivory
Playing their love
for all that would listen

The visions would sing
and dance within his head
Plum tree's with the wind
danced outside the man's window
with each note from
the baby grand's crescendo

Years passed and time cast
gray upon his hair
lines upon his face
Yet each day
The man sat at the grand
retracing fondly
the memories...cherished symphonies
of their love

Sometimes, on silent nights
you can hear the tunes
Of the man, long since passed
Visions dance with vivid romance
as plum trees dance with the wind
And once again,
I hear...cherished symphonies

I saw and heard Keith Jarrett in this one, crescendo and all. He still plays, so I presume this is another master you refer to in this delightful piece. Enjoy your words, always.
