Sam Scott Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Piano

My dearest friend
You never fail
To trust my hands
As songs unveil

You do not judge
Or run away
I hope, have faith
That I will stay

For long enough
Until I prove
I want to lull
As hands I move

Then craft a space
When I'm alone
Where love can live
Through ears and tone

You bide your time
Let dust collect
I love you still
With full respect

When often life
Gets crowded in
The time we spend
Shaved down to thin

But here I sit
An urge to play
Your healing gift
I need today

Eve Roper September 20, 2023 at 7:36 PM You make the piano so romantic. But I do love to listen to piano music, it is so soothing. Enjoyed reading Sam Scott September 20, 2023 at 7:42 PM Bless you Eve :)

Daisy Meadows September 20, 2023 at 12:28 AM Music can bring such joy. A lovely poem about your piano. Well written. Sam Scott September 20, 2023 at 7:41 PM Jeanette, I am grateful for your comment..joy yes, healing too to soothe the mind, even restore the soul :)

Jerry Brotherton September 19, 2023 at 6:36 PM A lovely poem Sam. I am afraid that playing a musical instrument is beyond my ability. I enjoyed your reading of this poem. Thanks for sharing. Sam Scott September 19, 2023 at 11:57 PM What you may lack in musicianship, Jerry, you more than make up for in penmanship! Thanks for being here :)

Susan Ashley September 19, 2023 at 6:31 PM Dear Sam, a lovely and lilting poem. On the surface this could be a tender tribute to your beloved piano or this could be expressing a neglected relationship that is even deeper. Either way it is beautiful! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Sam Scott September 19, 2023 at 11:56 PM Very insightful Susan, I do indeed love my sometimes neglected piano, but when we do engage 'she' knows I care. It's a uniquely special relationship ;) Thank you for our lovely words x

Juliet Ligon September 19, 2023 at 4:56 PM I can tell by reading this that you have a fondness for the piano. Sometimes we need to take a break from the things we love, then come back to it renewed and refreshed. This flows nicely like music.

Bill Baker September 19, 2023 at 3:16 PM Piano playing was a way to bring so many emotions to life, in my past. I love to play, but at 80, and no piano at home anymore, it just doesn't happen anymore. I enjoy the reading of your poem today. Sam. Thanks for sharing it with us. Bill Sam Scott September 20, 2023 at 12:06 AM I recommend: CASIO CDP S110 which has a lovely feel and nice piano sound, Bill :)) Sam Scott September 20, 2023 at 12:02 AM Bill - that makes me a little sad.. think about getting a nice keyboard, the piano feel is very good nowadays, I had to leave my old upright when I left home, but I get a lot of joy from the electric (Casio have a nice key action). Go on Bill, make me proud and reconnect with that creative side of you!! Blessings.

Silent One September 19, 2023 at 12:53 PM Sam you read this really well... great use of metaphor here... Sam Scott September 19, 2023 at 1:02 PM Thanks S.O. really appreciate you being so generous :)

Ink Empress September 19, 2023 at 6:25 AM Did you read this? You do spoken word very well. I know silent one also is a brilliant spoken word artist. Piano does have that romantic and touching energy that takes us away, to another realm. I love the flow of this poem and how you’ve written “ you do not judge or run away” exactly, “ i love you still with full respect” how heartfelt. Do you play piano? Healing through music is what we need i posted a poem too “ musical healing” which i think many too do, heal through poetry and music. Sam Scott September 19, 2023 at 7:16 AM I did. Sometimes there is a kind of healing in giving the written words life. 'Artist' might be a bit strong (lol).. but you are so generous and kind with your comments, I almost feel like I am. I tinkle and noodle on piano, so much healing there I just struggle to find quality time. Bless you Ink x

Hiya Sharma September 19, 2023 at 6:04 AM Music is so cathartic and something about piano has always captivated my heart! The therapeutic sound of its melody came alive as a lullaby in your words.. Where we try to escape from our world of harsh realities and nourish our souls for sometime.. Maybe, wishing to saturate in its beautiful aura forever! A gorgeous write :) Sam Scott September 19, 2023 at 6:09 AM Your reply is a poem in itself, Hiya.. "therapeutic sound" does indeed summarise the joy and friendship in a piano sound playing and being played with love as an accompaniment to life's joy and woes. Much love and healing music to you my poetic friend :))
