One Poem by Annette Towler

 

The Musician within 

 

The musician within me wants to play the ivory keys of a grand piano 

And sooth the furrowed brow of those who have lost 

Start with the largo of a grand symphony 

Crescendo to a Mozart, Chopin for a weary heart 

 

My fingers are tight and my heart is brimming with the softness of 

Fur Elise and the light strumming of a guitar 

To accompany my notes 

 

Move into jazz for some gentle vocals  

Soften the freeze of a young girl’s heart 

Getz accompanies my ivory notes with the Saxophone sound of passion 

Watching the girl walk along the Mexican beach 

 

Connection, compassion in the sound of music 

To bring comfort to those who are seeking peace
