The Rise and Fall of Notes

Several fingers dance on piano keys In concert halls playing music to please The melody rises, falls in a wave The audience captured, with voices rave. Music for eons has nurtured the soul Inspired by composers, they reached their goal While others with words created a tune As thoughts and feelings were heard all too soon. Poetry rose through the ages of man Creating life with their words, with their hand As footprints of notes on parchment they laid Lines formed together, as onward they played. Ears hearing the notes, eyes reading the word The music of poetry forever heard.
