I'm having some hand problems so I'm shortening my comments;-)
As the jazz pianist caresses the piano keys playing all my favorites my thoughts are brought to their knees in rapturous submission
My heart races to keep apace with all of his transitions till the music and I become one as he plays us with exultation
Fingering each precious movement with such precision and grace up and down the keyboard I can't bear much more he has intricately filled all my spaces
Then with glissando he brings us to cresendo I'm forever melded to the melody with no desire to ever be set free
etw

You describe this perfectly! When a pianist loves what he's playing it makes it sheer joy for the lucky listener.
The same goes for your writing. You rock. Big time.
Beautiful done! Our grandson plays the piano and recently had a recitle, which was sheer pleasure! A beautiful passion for music shines through each line in this poem.
Love, B&R

Nothing quite like listening to music you adore played by someone who knows what they are doing, and you brought that fact out in this grande finale of musical poetry.

You can't beat the piano for setting the mood and tone..
Just listen to the intro of Elton John's " Your Song "...
Love that stunning graphic...so authentic !
this is stunning, Eileen. you described to a tee the feeling of being one with the music. it almost hurts when the music ends, as if part of you is being severed.

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
