Subject: The Piano

Create in 20 minutes of frustration with sleep. I hope I created the right note of words. Enjoy my frustration.

With fingers of sound
My mind created the blend of vibrations
That carried with them the heavens

Which opened up the inspirations in all of us
For as the music sent out a hypnotized cloud
Swirling into the cracks of the minds of a captive audience
No one will be safe from its effects

For much like the flute that stole the children
These notes will steal your time
And most of your heart

For it comes from so deep in me
That it virginality lay open to explore
Like a new born child crying for the first time

My fingers spanked the notes out
For a lifetime of enjoyment
To join the baby into a smile
For the intensity that is quaked out
Will inspire the next generation to create
With the total energy of a erupting volcano
Into a chorus of angels

So that the new music created
Will go beyond mine
For their contribution and some of mine
