His fingers had a magic,

As when they touched the monochromes,

Mystical music was created.

His fingers seemed to play with the keys,

Cajoling and caressing them,

And the keys, longed for his touch.

His music, universal,

Could grab everyone’s ears,

And have them glued to the seats.

None knew the worst though,

His hearing took a backstage,

And slowly faded away.

But, that didn’t deter him,

From creating symphonies,

As he was unstoppable.

Probably the keys knew,

That he couldn’t hear,

And acted as his ears too??

*Loosely based on the life of Ludwig Van Beethoven
