The keys of the piano play softly from its strings,
deeply, persistently it plays
the melody of a thousand songs
and wanting words
drifting across oceans, deserts
rocky paths and grassy marsh
trying to find you in the dark.
Close your eyes and it moves,
as water across time and place,
finding space in your heart,
vying for attention and
a warm embrace.
See the unseen, feel the unfelt
and eyes that pull you into sight
like a true love’s calls
in the middle of the night.
Follow me, it beckons
follow me through time
to the end, to the side,
upward and beyond.
