Sandra Haight Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Black and White

Black and White


Black and
white keys,
graced by
skilled hands,
deep heart
and soul,
bring joy
and peace
to ears
that hear.
Hands are
the gift
that dance
on stark
black and
white keys,
to share
those tunes
which fill 
our minds
with bright
tones, hues,
tints, void
of black
and white.
