Fast then slow
Loud then soft
A dramatic pause
Fingers held aloft
Eyes closed
Breath in and out
As fingers fly
In a quiet shout
Gentle, then turbulent
A flawless seam
Every note flows together
Shaping a theme
A story is told
A story is heard
But nothing is spoken
Not a single word
Melodies dance
Creating a mood
Captivating an audience
Who cannot elude
Black and white
Each of equal importance
The small pieces of ivory
Producing a sound that's enormous
All too soon
The novel comes to an end
But many emotions linger
As the final keys descend
