I can’t listen to your song.
I’m changing the dial.
It’s too pretty.
All it does,
is bring tears to my eyes.

Your fingers tip toe
along the piano keys,
hitting every note,
peaking endlessly
before my ears.
I want to listen,
all the way through,

Tears will surely follow.
You’re above all the rest.
Your song is more beautiful than
the cricket song during summer,
the gentle rain shower in spring,
the crunching of footsteps
in the dead of winter,
the rhythmic dance of leaves,
sailing in try autumn breeze.

So why can’t I listen,
when I already admire such beautiful things?

    Would be magical to be that song…

    even at the price of everyone changing the dial.

      Wouldn’t it ?

      Struck by beauty,
      left mouth gaping
      at such a sight
      A song becoming free
      by voice that surpasses
      all there ever could be

      Thank you 😊

    Music has a way of moving us. And so does poetry.
