A Failing Lonely Music
Thoughts that take me back, a texture, in perfect tune with every note
A grand piano so new, the keys ivory white, flawless with many a devote
Beauteous to life to play a melody designed, lively and sweet to many ears
The musical rhythm in harmony, bringing a serenity to the atmosphere.
Thumping the many hours, minutes, that so majestically then displayed.
Seen now with lines drawn around the face, many a hardships detailed.
Gone with the years, now wasted, distorted, dumb and left in sheer daze
Alone with the four walls in a corner, a laptop, begins a new phase
The silvery streaks shining through the once so ebony black hair
The touch of that mastery hand slips away with lesser love and care
the joyous glow, the musical softness, now faces just an empty smile
A burden hard to bear, and no longer a road that seems worthwhile
Like the dusty old piano abandoned and brings no comfort to the air
Withering hands, elegance shrinks, a coldness, with feelings, despair? ?
The worthy of a soul with the creeping of old age, the body a creaking
Concern cease, just memories of days, once kept a world a glowing! ! !
