The Piano


The piano was created by an Italian named Bartolomeo Cristofori. The date  of creation is believed to be somewhere in the mid 1600’s.




 When my heart is unsettled,
And tossed about the seas of emotions,
My fingers go to the keyboard,
Where my soul bleeds the pain,
Into the notes,
Into the music,
And I seek peace,
Among dead composers.

    I never allow a day to go by without listening to the piano although I don't play (I realised when I was very young that I'd never reach a standard that would satisfy me because I don't have the ability) and I can feel every emotion that there is through the music.

    Neat how you combined the piano with the poem of how music is so soothing.

    Did you draw that piano Ruby? Good one. The piano can make beautiful music with the right musician. Do you play it? - Dave

    I just joined a band after a long layoff (I'm the keyboard player and co lead guitarist). The words are true and I often find myself seeking solace in playing music.

    Happy New Year, Miss Ruby!!
