Classical Music

Softly the notes of a piano
     begin to play 
as evening dusk falls gently 
like a quiet bird 
          in the night sky 

Mutant suns of long ago 
still haunting 
              the heavens
with its anemic haunting light; 

Dark waters, a whisper away from life 
     gently gliding into the canal 
The piano turns to black and white 
in my mind,  
                      Mozart dreams 
                                           Beethoven sighs 
                                                Chopin angels 
                                                      Vivaldi cries 
as the evening dances away,  
                      I see a frozen tree in the middle 
of an empty stage: 
His hair is wild, his brow is furrowed 

deep thought, ...
                         he is about to glide into another
 
                                             nocturnal sonata 
and so am I...

Your poem creates a captivating sensory experience, drawing on the power of music and nature to evoke emotions of reflection, wonder, and anticipation. Through its rich imagery and lyrical language, it transports the reader to a realm where time seems suspended, and the boundaries between reality and imagination blur in the enchanting embrace of evening.
