The Grand Player

I was deeply absorbed
By the melodies
His fingers were creating
Music notes invaded the air
Around me.

I closed my eyes
Soaking every note
As I blindly searched
For my plume
So I may scribe
These feelings I felt inside.

The music created
By The Grand Player
As he melodiously placed
Himself.

Into a state of classic creation
Mesmerized, I followed melodies
Into poetic inspiration
He played for all to hear.

I listened
As He caressed
Keys of ivory and ebony
Into wondrous tunes of songs
Composed in previous years.

The Black Laquered Grand
With it's mere presences and beauty
By it's self
Was an imposing sight.

Yet The Grand Maestro Player
Tamed it into humbleness
He once again caress
It's keys
Into soft melodies.

Playing with his heart
Searching for tunes and melodies
Stowed away
In the chambers of a memorable soul

To hear a grand piano, played by a masterful musician, is a sublime experience. How fortunate that you were appreciative. I enjoyed this expressive poem, William.

William, this is a beautiful tribute to an obviously very respected friend/artist.
I love to sit in front of the fireplace and listen to the piano being played. Glass of wine, candlelight, a warm toasty fire...Romance doesn't get better than that!
Thanks for sharing William!

The piano has to be the best of all instruments, as it can play the whole musical range.

Love the scope of this discriptive write..
