Love's Concert

Clair de Lune 
such a lovely tune.
I knew that this was the piece I would play in my concert.
A perfect ending such as a delicious dessert.
My fingers floated across the piano keys.
Knowing that this song was one of Debussy's.
It made chills run up and down my spine.
And as I played I knew that this song in D flat was divine.
Played at many weddings such a beautiful song.,
By playing this how could I ever go wrong.
So this concert pianist plays the chord  
beginning andante on the keyboard.
Then playing the arpeggios so very fast.
I'm wondering if my arms and fingers will last.
Then the lovely ending comes.
And afterwards the grand piano still hums.

Debussy's Claire de Lune - if a more lovely piece has ever been written, I;ve not heard it - it is, indeed, Love's Concert, and you've captured its' essence here. A lovely piece. Jack C.
