Life is A Piano

a poem comparing life to piano keys. One of my older poems included in my first poetry book "Seasons of Emotions" published in the UK.

Tune in to the rhythm of the times
the tides dancing and chirping birds sublime
Life's piano keys are overused
and yet can create tones out of the forgotten notes.

The sounds left me breathless
sinking in this world of endless madness
The high pitch often startles me out of the blue
while the low tone leaves a footprint of a different hue.

I look up to the heaven's above
while the music of my heart
is carried by the blowing wind
an overwhelming, calming presence on me reigned.

The piano music filled the tranquil air anew
my thoughts goes out to you casts in a lighted avenue
her angelic voice still lingers in my peaceful serenity
singing in tune with each tempo and melody.

Life is like a piano key though overuse can still strike and produce a lovely song and melody .

So you are a renown writer. Its good to know that. I wish you all success. You're poem is beautiful and well crafted. Life is indeed like a piano. Here in your piece I can hear and gauge your rhythm of consistency. A seasoned pianist I here say. But as for us who still strives to master life's symphony still strikes a wrong key and sometimes out of tune yet as we progress in life and faced countless life storms.

Like you my dear seasoned poet We will one day consistently hit and produce a melodious tone but right know we still stumbles and may hit and strike a baritone ...

I believe that Life is Music, itself. So i think the poem resonates what life meant for us. It has tune, rhythm and melody in all verses and phrases...

You have a beautiful poem here, kabayan...
