Breathing Music

Beneath the spotlight
Two humble eyes
sparkle unto the piano of my youth,
Letting go,
Letting my soul go,
Letting the moment gain control

Every breath a note
A scale of glittering hues of
harmony-
Silver keys sweep the crowd by the
Anxious touch of powder gloves
Midnight blues cools the darkness,
The cherry wood stage shaking

My aqua eyes drinking in the sound
as the balcony trembles,
Wanting support
As the music floods
the holiday air...

As the notes strum each thread
of my weak inner being,
Hues of Sax's color paint the
room and the curtain fall,
Silence draining tears from the people,
The souls who heard it
fell silent and were still
As they beheld the heart of music.
