If you listen hard enough,
somewhere in the world,
someone is playing a piano.
More than one.
What do you think?
A thousand? A million? More?
All playing to their own tune.
Living their life to their own rhythm.
Take a listen.
All playing.
Are they young or old?
Professional or new?
Some for fun, others for money.
Others play because they are made to.
Just think
if all these millions,
let's stick with millions,
all played the same melody
at the same time.
Would everyone on the planet hear it?
Would it reach the angels?
But the angels already hear them,
every song, all the time, everywhere.
For at this moment,
there is one angel who sits beside a girl
enveloped in thought and music.
The angel sighs, knowing that soon
this song will soon be lost.
As there will be one less piano player in the world.
So play,
play now and loud,
or softly for yourself,
but play.
Play your piano while you can.
555 Days... The Continuation
Welcome to 555 Days as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe
Back in 2010, I challenged myself to write a poem or a short verse a day, and post it to a blog. 555 Days as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe is the continuation of the experiment.
I gave myself 18 months to recover from the original daily blog postings, and now, I am ready to start it all over again. Although as I was beginning in the middle of the year, I thought 6 months was too short a time after my last experience.
"If I could complete a year of poems, how about 18 months?" I thought. I worked out that would be 549 days. I could have rounded it up to 550 to included New Years Day 2014, but then I thought I'd go 5 better... to 555 days.
Why 555? According to many spiritual teachers, the number 555 is a sign of change and the flow of energy. I thought it related to the blog. I spent a year writing a poem every day, then rested for 18 months. Now the tide has turned. It's time to begin the flow of words in my life again.
I'm not a trained poet, just an enthusiastic scribe wanting to create something new each day. I don't truly know my stanza from my meter, but I hope to improve and get my poetic license someday! Expect the weird, the strange and the inner workings of the Crafty Scribe's mind. Let's ride the waves once more.
Please pass on the blog address to all your verse and lyrical loving friends. I hope you will join me, and read my daily scribbling.
