in the ivory morning

Chopin's sounds

lift the dire fog

from the soul of the pianist

she caresses the keys

with restrained fervor

practicing love with black and white touch

taps the pedal of notions

closes the sheet music

gently,

her heart rising from the classical pages

to meet that cloud he hides within.

I bet this is about Lisa :> and even if not SHE WILL LOVE THIS! she always leave me a review telling me it is a dark morning and she is practicing Chopins' music. I hope she reads this if she didn't already. wonderful ending... to feel him from his music and then to soar to the higher realm to meet him, yes I know what You mean :>

It is said that like attracts like. I don't think she met this gloomy guy by accident.

It takes a strong love to make the sacrifice of working every day to get better. But in the end, it's that love that shows in the notes. I enjoyed.

Music is the medicine of the soul. The line "lift the dire fog" makes me think of confusion. Music can lift the confusion we feel, replacing it with a peace of mind. This was well written!

The Touch of the Ivories and the Ebony with Chopin's Music
is an awakening of Vibrato in warm and romantic sounds...
when the Sun rises in Mango moments of perfect Peace. gently, Pat

Music can lift the soul and transport you to other places. A little Chopin sounds a fine way to do this, tinkering away on the keys. I see two here, a he and a she, who is doing her utmost to remove the cloud in his heart. A lovely piece J. I felt concern and much love here.
