To live
Silvery string
Ivory key, brass pedal
Power of sound resides
In taut potential beckoning
Foot upon one stanza
Soul lingers yet
Broadcasting message to hand
Tenders the fingers...
Soul ... sparks ... from arch
to digit, to the toe --
Pressure of sounds on forehead
With timbre ... melody unfolds.
Once to inhale ... twice to exhale
Crescendo ... decrescendo
Outlast physical sense
Phrase lingers ... open mouth.
Let fly spirit
Hammer weighted stones
Upon granite marble perch
Music soothes passion searches.
Piano... of music house fame
Launches spirit to heights
Only spirit can measure
and fades to pianissimo.
That above stony paths fly
Footfalls beyond human heart
Mastery of soul-feet's cry
Release all that is inside.
