The Pianist

Agility flows
through the fingers;
gently dancing upon
those black and whites,
like graceful ballerinas
performing the music
of her soul.

Fantastic images...ballerina fingers..I never had graceful fingers or feet, but love listening to a piano and watching the pianist's fingers fly across the keys.
