Piano

black keys
white keys
touched by
moving fingers that
connected with
a singing heart
metal pedals
kissed by
nodding feet

the sound of music
dancing and flowing in
keys
pedals
fingers
feet
ears
eyes
hair
breaths
air
reaching the hearts
that are listening

• Good question. 这首诗是灵感闪现后，直接用英文写的，好像英文比中文更能表达那种意境，所以就没有译成中文。 -CBA7- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/27/2023 postreply 10:11:04

• 我写双语小诗，有时是先写英文，然后译成中文，反之亦然。有时只有英文版，有时只有中文版，都是跟着感觉走 ：） -CBA7- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/27/2023 postreply 10:14:40
