Dear composer,

Softly tinkling on your piano
You tell us your story.
One key after the other
Pushed with so much delicacy.
Every note so wonderfully chosen.

Notes are your words,
Fingers your pen,
The piano your medium,
Turning your piece of music
Into a piece of art.

Monk's energetic fingers pounce
revealing beats unheard; unique
Horn squeals along side

Miles's cheeks swollen
