PIANO, PLAY ME

          
             Piano,  Play Me


            Piano, play me
            With wordless tune
            Through breezeless desert
            And 'round the moon.

            Piano, play me
            On black and white
            Pale ivory chords
            That gleam in night.

            Piano, play me
            Forgotten songs
            Like footprints, written
            To guide me on.

            Oh, let me hear
            Your thunderous roar
            Your soft, sweet ebb
            Upon the shore.

            Like starlight falling
            From skies above
            Raise me up high
            To fall in love.

            Your keys have glory
            And notes of gold
            Soothe newborn tantrums
            And hearts grown old.

            How many masters
            Composed and wept
            Upon your keyboards
            While dreamers slept.

            Piano, play me
            Let me draw near
            To music's kingdom   
            Within my ear.

            Piano, play me
            Like rain falls down
            In hands of rapture
            Oh, let me drown.

  1. I think the music is definitely playing you! Tenderly, and moving, like walking along the shore with a gentle breeze moving softly across your face. That's a beautiful poem. That's a beautiful musical piece to compliment it. Well done!

  2. I just watched the video again and at the 3 minute mark there is a young lady that I recognize wearing a burgundy hat while tipping it with her left hand. She looks like Abbie Stewart. Abbie's an author, journalist and photographer from the UK. We correspond regularly. She writes short mystery stories, a lot of Rod Serling type mysteries. If that's not her, then it's a spittin image of her.
    I sent her a message to see if it is her. I'll let you know when I hear from her.

    I still love the music!
