Audio Muse

Opal is a wordsmith in multiple tongues,
but music is her primordial language.
Her sonatas animate fireplace phoenixes.
The finger ballet floating from her piano
melts the rage or rampaging hornets,
renders them as placid as butterflies.
Opal’s gently cascading melodies
turn work into weekend escapes.
Her digits are Eden in moonscapes.
Ivory is gold when those fingers dance.
Ancient ruins rise to their former glory.
Deserts turn to wetland wonderlands.

  1. This was a moving love letter. I liked “hornets soaring as serenely as butterflies”. The last verse describes the effect love can have on a person in a unique way. No one else could say it like this.
