Black and White In My Life

Piano keys – waiting for my fingers, they dream of a Bach fugue. Sheet music – notes build cathedrals of sound that wait in patient silence. My daughter’s horse – strong willed spirited mare who taught her so much. Print in books – the miracle of adventure between the pages. Equations on blackboards – elegant integrals to describe truth. Old photographs – time machines that carry us to eternal youth. My poetry notebook – pointy pencil on smooth unlined paper, singing my soul’s song. 2/16/2017 For contest: The colors black and white Sponsored by Laura Loo
