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. January 13, 2021 Poem of the Day January 14, 2021

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!

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

Beautiful, Connie. "...mingle with the moon is inspired." Chopin is wonderful to listen to; wish I could play any of his nocturnes (maybe someday). Best. ~Eric

Chopin’s music can sure take you places ... melancholy yet relaxing. Excellent flow and imagery. I can feel the connection between the piano notes and the moon. One moves the tides, the other the heart.

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. Even when there is no music he is doing a jig. He turned 2 on the 2nd. Writing and posting this a poem is a sign of great hope. Well crafted, and you hit just the right notes. Regards David in NZ
