Piano Visions

I sit and listen with awe as the pianist coaxes
the most wondrous sounds from the beat up piano
his melodies flood out greeted by stunned silence
as people are transported into the visions he plays

The music soars filling the room
deepening and expanding 
whispering of unseen things
of valley's, mountains and glens

the notes lead us into the glen
revealing the wondrous sights
of waterfall tinkling in time
to the most seductive beat

One can hear the birds singing
their notes blending so harmoniously
with the pianist's various moods
as he swings into blues and jazz

Yet still he plays on notes ringing out
telling oh so many fabulous stories
the silence of the audience says it all
he has transported us to another plane
