Deaf Musician daisiesnfld: Deaf Musician . She wrote the notes for piano Then played them on the keys And birds that heard the melody All sang in sweet harmony . The music was heard in Nashville Made famous by a star That put to words the notes she wrote And accompanied them on guitar . The fame that came from writing notes Much like words in poetry found The pianist only felt the notes For now deaf, they made no sound . The music was within the heart Notes played upon searching fingers Expressed now from her memory Where music written lingers . A language unknown to those who hear Grasps music, words by the strings Of all God's instruments left to the deaf Creates music and prose for birds to sing . When notes are played, sang or read In melody delivered to eyes and ears Cherished are the measures of the pen Within the hearts who write that no longer hear . © DaisiesNfld | poems Chat Room Similar Conversations |
