Shadow Play

I may be shadowed as I play your tune,
But you find dedication in each note;
My fingers, delicate on keys that soon
Will resonate and echo: they devote
Their time to instruments that I know well.
Watch gentle, sensual movements that perform
To such essential rhythms, they dispel
Anxieties, to flourish as you warm
To eager exercise and flowing sound,
That spreads like smiles upon a pristine face.
When you approach and compliment, I've found
My thoughts are so enthused, I must embrace
The hopes and aspirations that, you say,
Are liberated by my shadow play...
