PIANO CONCERT
The lights lower.
The concert congregation
becomes quiet.
The pianist walks out
onto the stage.
It’s a liturgy. It’s worship.
It’s sending sound and spirit
Into the hearts and minds
of all those present.
The piano, the altar,
offers us up -
music, mood, melody -
that will linger and loom
in the car ride home -
people speaking in a lower voice,
at least for the rest of the week
and possibly into the rest
of one’s life. Amen. More!
