I could never play the piano
There are too many keys
As my fingers touch
I tremble feeling ill at ease
“Focus you can do this”
I tell my soul
But the teachers disheartening eyes
Grips me and wont let go
When she leaves
The tears begin to fall
I know I can play this instrument
No one believes in me, no one at all
A whispered voice
Came from behind
Deep but serene
Tender and kind
“Feel the music
Let is cascade over your skin
The keys moves the hammer
The cords vibrate within
Do not force the sound
It will come naturally
Breath and allow
The rhythmic melody
The piano is a waiting lover
Waiting for your touch
It will go where you lead
No need to rush
Slow and melodic
Tempo is key
Pick up the pace
Just let it be
Let it guide you to a walk
Breath there is no haste
Moderate the beat
Your fingers belt out with such grace
Allegro beacons you
That is too fast
Knock it back to
Aldente is what I ask
You can not see the notes
That swirl all around in cue
You can only feel the notes
For they are bound to you
Your coming to the end
The build must break
Nothing last forever
I give you this advise I hope you take
Music is within
The basics you will need
Master all that you can
So they all can see
The beauty
The talent
The passion
The despair
Give them all of you
Give it to them with flare
I never heard that voice again
Except in my mind
When I go on stage
Every performance is one of a kind.
hello beautiful Fia this was so beautifully moving my eyes teared 💕
Thank you, crimsin;))
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
Great write. Emotionally driven. Well done!
Thank you, Keith 😊
Beautifully penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! You know I love writes that involve music my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

Thank you Damian ☺️
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
Thank you, Willow ;))
This is a very unique vibe, Fia. I like it a lot.
Much respect

Thank you, Naaj;))
The piano is a beautiful instrument. It has the power to move people to joy and tears.
I enjoyed this poem.

Thank you, Knight;))
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.
Thank you, Sam ;))
