Black and White Keys

I have always tinkled From a very young age On the ivory dashboard From the dots on the page The musical freedom Of the song never sung The releasing of passions On which I too readily clung There's a beauty in music Like a God given joy From operatic piano To the cheap plastic toy It matters not anytime Any place you can find If you call out to music It responds in a rhyme Your heart will be full From the start to the end With a strange, mystic healing Any fracture, can mend CV

I looooooove this! It is melodic and insightful. I too played piano as a child. I still have a Yamaha but nerve damage took my ability to play well. This is a favorite poem for me. I love this so much. Thanks for sharing it Cynthia.

Hey Karen, why thank you sweetie x It is a gorgeous thought we share that music transcends all boundaries. I think it keeps us young at heart. May God bless you.
