I awoke in the morning
And music came into my mind,
A piece of music by Bach,
Music normally played on a piano
By many famous pianists.
But the one that came to mind was different,
As it was played by Katrin,
Katrin Finch,
A harpist.
I came down the stairs
And had to put it on,
I sat and listened with joy,
With joy at this marvellous sound.
The relaxation of the day started,
Started with the harp playing,
Playing The Goldberg Variations.

Makes a change from me 'harping on' in my so-called singing!
So true Orchi. LOL

Absolutely beautiful, such a glorious skill to write with such emotion that your readers can feel and to leave this beautiful music too. Happy wednesday dearest Andy. 🌹
Most kind Teddy, thank you so much.

I have always enjoyed the sound of the harp. It is so seldom used in modern music but offers such a unique sound of peace and tranquility. Maybe that is why it is not used.
I see it used o lot in orchestras soren so it is still out there, but you are write about it bringing peace and tranquility.

There is a beautiful elegance about the harp, you linger on every note. How wonderful to awake with such a musical thought. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.
Thank you Bella, very much appreciated.
