The Piano

The bench is soft but strong as you take your place

The keys cool, hard and unyielding under your hands

You take a deep breath and begin

The music wraps around you, comforting you

Letting you know its okay to let go

Everything you feel flows through your body,

Through your arms and your hands

Every fear, every heartbreak, every tear shed

Every hurtful word thrown at you,

Your frustration, your anger

And every unfulfilled dream

They twist and wind, blending with the music

Creating a haunting and beautiful song

Filled with everything you have ever felt

It fills the room, overwhelming in its intensity,

Flowing freely, weaving intricately

Bulding and building

Threatening to consume all around

Until at last the final note sounds

It dissipates

Leaving nothing but tears in your eyes

Trembling hands

And hope in your heart and soul
