compose a simple piece
of plinking ivory keys.
carefully place your fingers
along the gentle giant's teeth,
and slowly make your melody.
let the tune envelop you,
winding notes of hard and soft.
close your eyes, and before you can stop yourself,
dive in.
you are free now,
not entirely accepting, but
moving on ahead. let mundane simplicity
fall away.
soaring, leaping, gasping fingers
play the wind, child!
become this blue-hearted soul
made of barely-there breath. reach
and yell for the finish line.
slowing down, you won't do it.
can't seem to finish this. keep
pouring out the lifting notes,
keep reveling in this new come feeling.
what is it, exactly? you have no clue,
but it has power.
and now, let it go.
let the music free-fall for
a fraction of a second before
pchoooooooo!
Liftoff!
