Music

I raise my voice,

surprised by what I find there.

The words pour out of me,

though I shouldn't know them.

 

The song burst outward,

infusing my soul and heart

into the notes of the melody.

Words cannot describe

the feeling as the magic of sound

escapes my mouth and flows forth,

hanging in the air like golden fog

long after the final note is sung.

 

Troubles and doubts

are swept away by the fiery singing,

born of the deafing silence

just as sunrise lights the horizon

with tones of brilliant rose and amber

just after the deep darkness

of the endless night.

 

My hands rapidly flow over the ivory keys,

providing harmony and balance

and sustaining the lilting song.

With the piano and my voice,

I am the master of emotion,

able to conjure up fantastic images

of inspiring fantasies in wondrous lands

with notes and chords alone.

 

With four simple notes

in a far simpler pattern,

I can ressurect the lost elves

and, for a brief moment or two,

bring their mystic grace and beauty

back to this dying world.

 

Inspiration, ambition, magic

and a hundred thousand more

wrap around the notes like velvet

and fill their air with their auras.

With each tap of the keys,

a sound of pure crystal chimes,

combining with others in vast tapestries

of inspiration, Fire, chaos, order, and music.
