A Stormy Beginning

A Stormy Beginning

A Poem by Moonlight
"

It is a beginning that makes it feels like an end..

"


When the skies turn grey

And all the sounds fade

Playing the piano becomes

So painful and frustrating

Empty notes

Mechanical keys

Panicked movements

Scattered thoughts

 

Its like drowning

In the deep ocean

Where no sunlight reaches

Dark and lonely

Its frightening

 

Even when I pound the keys

Even when I yell the sounds

Even when I am hanging

Onto each note so desperately

How is it that

I can’t hear my own playing?

My own sound?

 

Sometimes, I wonder

Wht the piano doesn’t answer to me

Like it used to before…

 

And when I stop playing,

My trembling hands retreat,

My breath paralysed,

My heart hurting,

I wonder why a simple

Smile on your lips

Makes everything so meaningful again…

 

And when the dark meets the light

The golden turns green

The spring shines

I see the once dark path

Illuminated by countless stars

Shining just like your sparkling eyes

 

Eyes that hold my gaze

In a warm embrace

Eyes that say

This is no end,

     Just a stormy beginning….
