The Piano

It's hard to comprehend how such
Warmth and comfort
Can come forth from a
Dark box of
Sharp lines
Harsh wires and
Cold keys

Between complexity and simplicity you very
With Beethoven's 5th
Or
A child's scale
Your rich sound is made known

As your sweet symphony rings out I sit in peace
Your melody raps its gentle arms about me
Pulling me closer
Closer to the memories
Closer to the feelings
Closer to home

You draw my attention to your sweet song
With you I can let my emotions freely flow

Gently playing a warm melody to
Comfort the lonely or
Banging a harsh tone to
Ease the pain
You don't mind

You're always there
Quietly sitting in the corner
Waiting to be noticed

You have created and world
In which I can escape the
Fears and
Worries
I have grown so weary of

And an escape has been what
I've been praying for
