Delmarva Review: Love of Learning by Esther Lim Palmer

February 18, 2023 by Delmarva Review Leave a Comment

Share

Author’s Note: “To spend more time with my seven-year-old daughter, I started learning the piano with her. This process of learning filled me with childlike joy and prompted ‘Love of Learning.’” 

Love of Learning

Here I am,
at thirty-nine, learning
to read
again. 

Line by line,
black and white lights
fill spaces with music
in my mind. 

It takes time
to learn a new lexicon:

Adagio, slowly.

Legato, I am walking.

Staccato, I am jumping
in puddles
again. 

⧫
