My Shining Star Piano Meditation

This is a meditation version of my song without lyrics. This track utilizes my guitar chords with piano. The verses are sad and spooky with dissonant minor chords that capture my grief. But the chorus with its major key is uplifting and a heartening expression of my love. The interplay of piano and guitar. A shining star is a beautiful metaphor for light. Light illuminates the darkness, which dispels fear, confusion, and sadness. When my mother declined with dementia, I often imagined her speaking to me. I wrote a poem where she called me “her shining star.”
