NaPoWriMo day 18. This was inspired by Linda G. Hill’s Stream-of-Consciousness Saturday and Fandango’s one-word challenge.
Practicing social distancing,
Practicing these guidelines.
Maybe I could practice
Piano again; even in this
Quarantine the music
Has not played from my fingers.
I have seen virtual
Orchestras and choirs
Zooming into living rooms
Bringing joy, sounding glorious:
To play piano music
Could sing much joy,
And connect myself to the
Past, ripped from under us.
I sense the very real feeling here. And those words “Connect myself to the past ripped from us” says it all. Very poignant

Music transcends time. Poetry does too–but music also transcends language. It speaks directly to our emotions. It’s never too late to reconnect with something we love.
