Christopher Hansard:[ Piano on the Water]

Here in the mountains

there is a piano on the water

the sound of the piano floats across the still lipped waves

which underneath are stirred by the unseen pianist

and mist comes

the piano is its sound

percussion more bell and harp like

piano on the water

voices in the keys

major and minor

merged in a slow embrace

by a shy breeze

hinting at mortality

and the everlasting sounds

of the hidden keys
