Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.  "Ludwig van Beethoven"

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
