Sax With Sarah

Lovin the sax!

You taught me to play,

perfected my embouchure

so that my lips fit tightly

to the tip,

 

my fingers float

above the keys

with a light

and nimble touch.

 

C Major scale,

given to me

to develop

my hand movement

from note to note.

 

You caress me

with encouragement,

soft words

to bring me to

the next level.

 

I look to you,

look up to your

skill,

and I see a sparkle

in your eye,

a sweet smile

on your lips

 

and thus I now

play for you.

encouragement goes such a long way....as a teacher, I deeply understand this...
inducing that spark.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes indeed Jacob. My teacher is 100% better than my previous one and I feel inspired and more able. Many thanks.

Enlightenment through one's blessing of possessing natural talent to do what one loves. In this case playing an musical instrument. I loved the line "You caress me
with encouragement,
soft words
to bring me to
the next level." Speaks of metamorphism in ways of being enlightened through the passion of what one meant to do thus setting your soul free. Keep writing sincerely your friend in writing and life

Oh my word! I wish it was a natural talent for I would be doing gigs by now is so. But yes you are right about 'enlightenment' through passion. Many thanks.
