Learning to play the Piano

Fingers are not supple, coordinated,
Or so easily contorted,
To match the vital positions,
Required to play each key.
Nor can they change from one chord shape,
To another with such ease.
Individual digits rise in unison with their neighbours,
When you would like them to stay in their place.
They can lag when doing runs of scales.
And make the pace of endeavor slower than your mind can endure.
But having said this,
The lovely tinkling sounds,
Of a piano played tunefully,
Soothe and calm the mind.
The beauty and emotion,
Conveyed in the chords,
Sublime.
These would not be appreciated,
By those more youthful.
It is these things that,
Keep you interested and even longing to practice.
When you are a more 'mature' student of the piano
