Childe Hassam - The Sonata

Between the Notes

She closes her eyes – feels his presence
Her fingers silently rest upon the piano keys

He sits – intently watching her – in anticipation
His thoughts flow to the sound of her beauty

Her head rises slightly – she feels him move
As her fingers dance across the piano keys

He closes his eyes – takes in her beauty
The music washes over him in waves

Knowing he hears, she smiles deep inside
She plays to him – in the rhythm of her soul

And between the notes … yes, between the notes
He breathes her in deep – as he hears her beauty

Summer Evening

The Boys

Sarah watched from the window – her right arm in the natural resting position on the sill, while her left hand fidgeted with the flower pot. She felt the breeze of the warm summer afternoon air brush against her skin. Her thoughts floated along with the breeze …

She was, on the beach, watching Aden pop wildly out of the surf – wiping the water and sand from his face with both hands – she smiled inside. He ran up to her and with a mischievous smile, shook his head to cause a spray of water droplets on her – she squealed with feigned displeasure – it was one of their moments of pleasure together…

A sudden squeal from one of her boys in the yard brought her back. Now, where was Aden? Sarah yearned for those days at the beach – love was in blossom and she was so young – they both were.

Between the Notes

anticipation
beauty flows with each key stroke
her soul smiles – rhythm
