The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


With each key he played, the monster, alive
Unaware was he, as he continued his song
Though he felt a presence, he could not decide
What it was he had been feeling, all along

Through the trees, moonbeams danced
It was though they could hear every note
The stars came down, wondering, perchance
If his playing was what kept them afloat

His life, in a book, his fantasies, played
As time passed by, the pages yellowed
He took in stride, what his mind displayed
All those nightmares, had truly mellowed

So he played, and he played, each note his own
Not caring what was happening around him
He knew from the start, this king on his throne
That his dreams would always surround him

One last song, I begged of him

As he looked upon me, face so grim

The time has come, I can no longer play

Blackened notes, on sheets of gray

The lines now blurred upon the page

I take my leave of this earthly stage

Though my hands shall leave these ivory keys

My melody continues, in sweet rhapsody

Ivory keys twisted, in worn out shapes

A reminder of days gone by

I hear the melody, your fingers play

And I heave a gentle, breathless sigh

For my heart recalls your sweet caress

Each note, such music to my ears

Your withered hands, so freely glide

I can see them through my tears

Together, we were a symphony

Our lyrics, were life’s perfection

And I lay this yellow rose to rest

As a symbol of our joy and affection

For no longer do I hear you play

You left me, much too soon

Yet I shall never forget your song

My love and the piano, forever attune
