Play It

Play It You were afraid in the beginning. You were excited and filled with anticipation. But, afraid. Just holding her in your hands was a strange experience. Awkward, like a first kiss. Unsure of where and how to touch. Just how should your lips Meet her cold and unfamiliar mouth piece? Remember those first few notes Screeching through space inside the band hall? A sacred place where rhythm and note Have coursed the air and touched The smallest bones of the human body With the softest and most pleasant caress. Become familiar with the way she feels. Close your eyes and feel the softness of her curves. Treat her like a lady of royal blood. Her father has given you her hand. There is no leaving her at the altar. You will decide your life together. Love her. Caress her. Kiss her softly. Learn to move your fingers and listen to her reply. The early sound of surprise becomes the sound of love. Soon, you breathe as one, and the voice you hear, The voice we hear. Is not hers. Is not yours. But, the union of both. And what we hear is the birth of something Grand and glorious and beautiful! Play it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4C4YU5JtIo
