The Happy Sound of Yamaha

His piano is not played often
as yesterday was, and when it does, the happy sound of Yamaha
lets him enter a fascinating world made up of time clefs, of notes
and chords that imagination 
creates on instant thought...
while he contemplates Nature!


If his body is old, his spirit is young
and it can go on until those weary fingers
won't or can't play anymore;
and doesn't desire palpitate in his anxious heart...
leading it where it wants to go as an eagle soaring
past the hills of a radiant sunrise?


On February the sixth, another year will be added
to the calendar of that man engulfed by loneliness,
but he despairs not when he plays his piano
that soothes his pain, comforting him with hope,
allowing his senses to invigorate as morning 
greets the happy sound of Yamaha!

Congratulations on your win Andrew--this was a really tough batch to judge, all so well written. I appreciated yours for your mood and music, that Yamaha I can agree with. Thanks for entering my contest.

The sound of Steinway would be even happier. Reminds me of "Piano in the Dark" by Brenda Russell. Good write.
