With Her Touch

Music alights with the movement of her fingers
It resonates in waves that echo through her body

Invisible energy flows – electric with her touch
She closes her eyes to focus on sensuous ripples

Her fingers at play – in a courting dance with the keys
Her piano responds – with laughter between the notes

Music teases her in ebbs and flows – silence and sound
Embracing her – caressing her – engulfing her

She feels its loving waves build and … build and … build
Until she’s completely a washed in a crescendo of sound

Finally, as the music fades – sitting at the piano – exhausted
She simply takes a quiet breath – as her soul smiles within

With Her Touch

eyes closed, ears opened
fingers dance across the keys
her soul smiles inside
