ARABESQUE

I listened to you play last night
every note sparkling as it always did
clear as crystal
running in escalating scales and then
crashing chords diminishing to the smallest sound.
You were always the master of the keyboard.
The storyteller.
Every piece describing something,
the peacock, the cabaret dancer,
the woman in love by the moonlight.
It is a comfort to hear you once again
Y.ou are still here with me whenever I hear
any music we enjoyed together.
It was your music. You played it for me.
And you still do.

IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME -- BUT IT IS ABOUT HOW I HANDLE THE CHALLENGE...how i continue to grow, contribute, create and let my mind and talents develop without endangering anyone else. Do I have children --- yes -- 3 biological and they all have symptoms, but they are dealing with some of the symptoms -- very successfully. Forunately none is full scale BDI, Rapid Cycling.
