My heart swells at the sound of the melody
As my fingers kiss the keys ever so softly
Pink, white, baby blue sounds
Rise and paint my world in colour
.
Sunlight streams through the window
Crossing from one world to my own
From bright lights to soft silence
To melodies that make hearts weep
.
Emotion spills over and crosses the threshold of my eyelid
My hands, obedient labradors, play the piece they now know by heart
Entire worlds are built in a melody
The whole spectrum of human emotion
Tied up with ribbons into the harsh lines of the script
.
Understanding its complexities,
The various feelings underlying the piece
Like a secret whispered at night
Feeling the music pulse and stretch through my veins
.
Losing myself into the melody like one falls into the arms of a lover
My heart surges, a mighty leap,
Yet in the room all is calm
Save for the shy, quiet speech of the piano
.
My beating heart brings me back from before
Like sand borne back ceaselessly to the shore
The water recedes and all that remains
Are broken memories in my tiny hands
