piano

February 26, 2007 16:30

i wrote this a while ago and posted it on myspace.I know its not about a violin but its an insturment;)

mm well here we go ive loved piano for as long as i can remember ever since i was little i wanted to be a pianist (though that will obviously never be) i had never had piano before...i always taught myself...my mom playec for our church but she couldnt teach me i always wanted to play when she talked.hehe my fault completely.anyways when i was bout 12 i finally had a teacher she gave us a discount for my lessons because mom and Laura my sister had had lessons for about a year (my mom never really understood how BADLY I wanted this) I had lessons for about a month and than mom and Laura quit lessons and therefore i had to quit...at that time we were going into troubles with money and all.i played as often as i could since then...i only had the music sheets my teacher had given me (about 15 songs i had learned in a month) and i had played them so much i had them memorized in about a week.

Well i kept playing and playing because it was my deepest desire to be a pianist. one day i got so fustrated while i was trying to learn a song my sister had sheet music for that was way above my level of understanding .i took all my papers including the ones that Laura had given me and threw them in the fire and swore i would never play again.

well the next day my resolve never quite stayed. soon i was at the piano again playing those 15 songs i had memorized i always felt good when i played but felt rotten because i only knew 15 SONGS! i tried so many times to tell my mom how badly i wanted this but as usual she brushed it off as one of my many ramblings.one day about a year ago...there was some sheet music for CLASSICAL SONGS what i had always wanted!!! i knew i was ready for them,i knew that i would work hard to learn them.so i pointed them out to my mom and i said "MOM look classical piano!!! " I didnt say anything about buying them because right then and there i knew mom would say no because she was on the hunt for antiques. and i kept mentioning them and practically stared at them the whole time making hints to mom about how bad i wanted them but she seemed to not notice.in the car well i really wouldnt even speak to her after we left i just sat there with my arms folded (i shoulda asked!) and glared pretty much the whole time entil she asked me what was wrong and well I started crying(and you know how rare that is) and i told her how bad i wanted this and how i wanted those piano books.its like she finally understood that day...but after about a week it was far from her mind...and now just recently THANK GOD i got piano lessons!!! im so happy i could shout it out to the world! i got them because i need credits for school so mom got me piano lessons for that reason! i was so happy i tod everyone i came in contact with...even the cashier at the store.

well also recently we got an upright grande piano!!!!!! gorgeous antique. and with it came classical piano books!!!!!!!! i was so happy i immediatly grabbed them and sat down at my moms old beat up piano (the other one had to warm up to room tempture)and started trying to learn the songs...at first i was a little fustrated but after a while i learned Fur Elise! and now that i have piano lessons its becoming easier and easier...

i have everything to record my piano playing but i packed it up on accident:( sorry.

I know these have nothing to do with music but these are my two latest poems.

life love hope and peace

life is like a handful of sand,
as it blows away in the wind,
across the time and land,
taken away in a whirlwind.

love is like the ocean,
ever so vast and great,
glazed over ever so often,
waiting for a storm to create.

hope is like a treasure chest,
you search and search and nearly give up,
dreamless nights of unrest,
and search again at sunup.

peace like a wave that washes over you,
claiming your restless mind,
setting things anew,
opening the gate where you were confined.

life love hope and peace,
what is the greatest of these?

Life is short and sweet,
but then no heart beat.

hope is a want or a wish,
but many times you watch it vanish.

peace is but for a few moments,
and it never lasts long gone is the silence.

Love is everlasting,
more and more love is adding,
God loves us to the end of time,
and beyond each persons lifetime.

what is the greatest of these i ask?
It can only be but Love.

Thunder speaks

it roars as it struggles to speak,
it stretches as it struggles to reach,
it cries wanting to say,
'Im thunder and a part of your day.'

it strains its voice,
its tears make the ground moist,
its trying to speak,
'im thunder,come and seek.'

it screams to be heard,
not being able to say a word,
all it wants to say is this,
'im thunder,is something amiss?

did i scare you with my loud noise?
where went all your joy?
let me hold you and comfort you,
i didnt mean to scare you too.

i want to say something,
im ever so aching,
listen to me,
why cant you see?'
