Chopin Nocturnes

https://youtu.be/-gDinVAmtA0



 Chopin Nocturnes

Listen....autumn rain is gently falling
Within enchanted hour of twilight sky.
In my heart, Chopin is softly calling
Lovely piano notes that make me cry.
As Luna slowly rises in the east
Her soft lambent glow lightly veiled in shrouds,
Taming the spirit of both man and beast
By roaming mesmerizing misty clouds.
My spirit soars within this peaceful scene
Enthralled by every note of Chopin's tune.
Beguiled in nature's calm, I feel serene
As stars appear and mingle with the moon.

This music and enchanted night reveal
New hope my mourning heart will one day heal.

Sam Kauffman December 3, 2021 at 11:46 AM Connie, many congratulations on this beautiful poem that literally sings your spirit in the framework of Chopin! I thought I had commented on it after I first was enthralled by it. It is an enchanting sonnet filled with healing and hope all highlighted by your scenic portrait of twilight - one of my favorite times of day. As a piano major I loved playing Chopin and still love his music! Sending you all the blessings of this Christmas season, hugs and prayers dear friend! Connie Marcum Wong December 16, 2021 at 1:29 PM Thank you very much Sam. Music does soothe the heart and helps to heal. I appreciate your insightful comment. We are feeling the loss this time of year especially when families gather. Mele Kalikimaka! My best to you and your family during the holidays. Blessings xxoo

David Smith February 28, 2021 at 12:05 PM If we can still feel the music and smell those special smells we could be halfway to heaven. Our grandson is off to a good start.
