Inspired by HD's poem... C/C ? please?

When a writer encourages another to go deeper, it is a tremendous gift. Thanks HD.

With lights off,

I would sometimes just sit 

at my piano. Rest 

my head on my arm

and softly, place my hand,

Her softness 

instantly reassures.

Press two keys.

Slowly. Three keys

And... four.

F sharp minor seven, Now

Listen

Listen, pressing the 

expression pedal;

She breathes

Sustain... 

I have called

to her, and she has

whispered back.

    Glad you invited me out, man...I miss a lot over the weekends! And this is a lot all by itself! This has talent, but, more, heart...and therein lies the universal attraction! Not a single surprise response for my take! No faint praise, IMHO, since I also play the piano...some anyway! First instrument was the accordion! But favorite is the harp (harmonica). Still...the personal connection translates very vividly!

    Metaphor a piano and you have a lot of keys to express. Enjoyed this read by where it takes the mind in many meanings possible.

    What a delightful poem. The view of the night time sky is among the most inspirational matters I've ever checked out. By means of a telescope it is much more awesome and the planets are tremendous. Despite the fact that i can see pics online there is nothing really like looking at the real factor aided only by using optics. I am now not sure about your ideas on comets. They nonetheless have their energy, it is just that the recent ones have not come close ample to place on the whole exhibit. Time will carry yet another. Over an extended interval some will likely be fairly frighteningly shut. Where I reside Orion is grew to become on his head. His belt and arm looking nothing more that a saucepan. A little bit sad for the sort of best warrior. I've enjoyed reading this, despite the fact that I've simply managed to trap a cold.

    the last three lines are delicately beautiful, i repeated them a few times for the quality they possess :)

    i can imagine the piano keys, slowly depressing, and hearing the notes they produce from the hammers, not as visual as it is aural but i don't mean that as a negative

    natural, soft, music, and the end stanza makes the poem even greater

    I read it once, delicately, and I feel like it might shatter into a hundred words if I read it again......

    Source(s): One might say "tender."
