Lori Lucas Mcclure Poet Narrative

The Pianoforte

Tenderly the ivory keys call to me.
Their vibrating octaves like different voices
soft and hypnotic, drawing from me 
the deepest yearning of my heart overtaking
my senses....helpless against its intoxicating
melody. Sweetly the notes swell,  filling me, 
lifting my spirit from its solitary place. With
 each push of the keys the hammers strike a
chord deep within. Waves of inexpressible 
emotion sweep over me enchanting, 
and mesmerizing they carrying my 
soul Heavenward.

Peggy Caulfield May 24, 2012 at 10:57 AM When I feel the need to calm down after a busy day, i sometimes will sit and play the piano. I find it very relaxing and calming to the nerves. You are right it affects every feeling in your soul. May the Lord grant you all your heart's desires as you delight yourself in Him.
