For long I have been
Waiting and anticipating and
Humming your
Tunes of white and
Tunes of black

And when will it disappear?
When will I grace the signature?
Not made of ivory, nor of gold
A black star cast its shadow over the fold.
And will I ever witness
Finally, the maestros' crescendo?No reply came but tunes fluttering in the wind
The ancient language always indecipherable
The feeling felt and the
Chirp, already deciphered
