Poetry
So Lord
where to you want to go?
I won't limit you.
How are You speaking today?
Open my eyes to see, to hear.
I find You in unexpected places.
The woman at the piano.
Seems like a college student
focused on her passion,
not so much on fashion.
She knows of a beauty
I will not understand on
the speaking end -
though I've tried.
I listen to her play.
Her long, dark hair
separates her from
the crowd.
Un-trendfully long.
She needs no written music.
It is in her - the song - the notes.
My mind searches:
is it Mozart, Chopin, Vivaldi?
Did she create it herself?
At this moment,
her pleasure in playing
is richer than my ears in reward.
What is being said by her emotions?
But then I hear Debussey.
No one has played Debussey like that.
Shimmering impressionism.
Walking through a beaded doorway.
Watching pearls dance on a moon lit lake.
A picture of sound feelings.
Just an ordinary woman.
No make-up, plain clothes.
But I bet others wished
they knew their beauty
as well as she knew hers.
It was clear why she is here.
To play the piano.
Perhaps she's playing it
for Him.

Very touching indeed! and after reading the two comments below an experience jumped into my mind. A praise song from my car radio was playing as I went through MacDonalds for a burger, and when the words said,"I'm desparate for YOU..." I started to cry - such was the touching to my heart/feelings.
Extraordinary! I know this had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with me, but as much as I find God in all kinds of things and places and faces, seldom do I look at me and really notice Him there. There is a classic song, more like an ancient song written at the beginning of time, and its notes rise from the deepest part of my being to worship Him in ways my lips (or my pen) are not talented enough to perform. And here I sit... with hip-length hair, suddenly very aware of being made in His image. Wow.
