Heard within the Presence of Self
The resounding of piano and passion
Hands and fingers move in lilting grace
Each note calls to be known
To be this moment opulent
A sea of silence
Enfolded in the embracing waves
Of sound majestic
Upon piano keys a soul to place
Sandro plays
And known be the eternal
The music, the music.

Music right to the soul. I can just hear the hands hit those paino keys. Just beautiful!
Beautiful, the poem and the watercolour!
I really like the way you mention "each note" & also the mention of silence--it's an important, but often overlooked thought--how important silence is as a part of music.
Choices, Sandro's playing was so inspired that it would not be surprising if you were able to hear his "hands hit those piano keys." OH! thanks for listening!
Rain, Thank you - we do share an appreciation of music!
John, And when we hear the silence the fullness of the music is heard! Really enjoyed my visit over your way!
