Stirrings

Warmth of the sun
Upon the keys
Stirs gentle souls
Like warmest seas

Flowing softly
Oh how we long
To travel on the
Tides of songs

Imagination
Charts the course
Savior from
Boredoms remorse

So play the notes
Sing me a tune
And little one
My heart will swoon

Author notes

I chose the picture prompt.

    "Warmth of the sun
    Upon the keys
    Stirs gentle souls
    Like warmest seas"

    I agree with Mary Jo, I love the feel of this first stanza...they are all beautiful, and I love the traveling on a song's tide..

    this is lovely, Rob!=)

    i read this poem first without seeing the picture prompt and it definitly stands on it's own. then when i looked at the picture i thought it was perfect for it.
    my favorite part: "Warmth of the sun
    Upon the keys" - so much imagery in so few words.
    good luck in the contest. you have crafted a lovely poem. i enjoyed this. - NANGALEEMA

    This is so sweet! Had to go look at the pic for this poem and you put a sweet feel to it.

    "Fowing softly
    Oh how we long
    To travel on the
    Tides of songs"

    That was my favorite part!
