Soul's Silent Sonata

Soul's Silent Sonata

My love, how I bow my head now
                   as I realize the mundane march
          I have allowed for us
                                                          for so long
                   da da da    da da da   da da da   da da da

when did that become the death tango with no flare
                   that I let compare to what was
                             a dance that never should have stopped

          alone
while the sun finally ceases to intrude
          its blinding interlude that puts me to sleep
                   just when "awaken" is the call
                                                          of whispering stars

and now the moon rises and for once
                                      I see it
                   I remember the
                                                melody

la      la             daaa       da      daaaa       loooo
                   la                       leeee                la la laaaaa

          I rise on the mist to meet you
                    over the ocean that moves
                                       only as we move
                                                           each limb
                                       directs each wave
                   at our pace
          together

we play each other
                   one glorious note at a time
                                                with focus
                                                          harmony
                             a soft caress
of every nuance required
                                      counterpoint
          laa           laaaaa                     la     laaaaa

the universe is listening
it becomes new

                             this soul sings

                                                                   and this soul sings

Recognized

The Moonlight Sonata is a simple piano piece that most pianists are able to play. However, to play it properly and bring out the beautiful melody requires great skill. Love over time can fall into the repetitious sound of the sonata and the melody is easily lost if the skill is not constantly applied.
