I played piano for years but got bored with it being I had no band to play with. Your words here show a timid and shy player developing into a professional with music in their soul. Music moves people. It should be learned by everyone.

I agree with you. Sometimes when you do not have the right teacher, it would put a person off from even trying to learn to play. Thank you, Tim

I always envied people who could play the piano. I had a friend who played classical by memory & it blew my mind. I only ever had voice. Lovely walk through the keys here

The piano is a beautiful instrument. It has the power to move people to joy and tears.
I enjoyed this poem.

The last line made me smile. Guitar is my instrument, but I know how overwhelming it can be to learn an instrument. Playing one a little might not be too hard, but playing it well is far, far harder. Nice work, my friend.

I sincerely wish the bookmark worked for me, but try as I might it doesn’t. This will be permanently bookmarked in my mind though

Thanks for the comment.
Memories are very unreliable.They are patched together using perceptions and biases….don’t trust them.

I wouldn’t mind if we did away with platitudes altogether. It’s entirely too easy for people to quote one of them at you without really thinking of any sort of meaningful response that might better fit the situation.

“Love & light” or “positive vibes only” also come to mind. Toxic positivity is a real issue….people have to be able to grieve, to get frustrated and angry and complain on occasion. These are unpleasant things that all humans must experience.
One of my least favorite to hear is “be yourself”, which too often means “confirm my biased opinions of you”.

Powerfully penned, Thomas. Being an alcoholic has levels and rabbit holes, only problem is trying to navigate through the quicksand that one is slowly sinking in. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

I never had a desire to drink but my mother did. I guess some people are prone to addictions then others. This is a gritty down and out poem, but always interesting when coming from your pen, Thomas.
