Simple Tones - Collaboration With Chris Green

My friend, 
    do you see
         every finger
        every key
         Can you hear
        words to sound
      float around
       Do you feel
          movement sing
              coloring

Will you take
  simple tones
    played alone
     Making music
    all your own
   Listen to
    melodies
    in the trees
  flowing softly
on the breeze

         Smell the air
      Hum your song
     to the birds
      that sing along
           Every giggle
         every sneeze
       resonates
   everywhere
  In your heart
    smiling there

Place your feet
  on the floor
    pirouette
      evermore
       In your soul
      take a chance
    come with me
  sing and dance
