Poem
MY MUSIC JOURNEY. I was born in a capital city, Of an undeveloped country. Into a middle class family. I lived in a street full of guitars. My first musical instrument was, Either guitar or harmonica, I was very young then and can not remember, How I got my first guitar. It was a classical one and I played by the ears. Fortunately, I had a chance to play other instruments too, Mandalin, cylephone and banjo. Then due to civil war, I left my family and country at a very young age. I became a refugee. Arrived in Australia and started learning English. Never have the luxury of having music lessons. And avoided all the knuckles being beaten. With months of saving, after settling in Melbourne, I proudly own a Yamaha classical guitar. I continued playing till my fingers' skins grew hard. Then one life struggling after another, I put all the music enjoyment aside. Playing piano was never on my mind. In late 1999, I received some treatments, They were supposed to serve one purpose, Surprisingly, they helped another. Since then, combining my music listening abilities and memories. I ended up playing piano easily. I just needed a piano, sat on the stool, Fiddled my figures on the keyboards, Wah lah, I could figure out the sound, And played a popular song, In a matter of half an hour. Now, I grew much much older, It took me hours even weeks, To master one piece of music. My last piece of piano playing, Will be "The Butterfly Lovers". Then, I will be retired from playing music. I know, there will be this day, When I could no longer be able to play music, I will listen to all the piece I recorded.
