the girl with her piano

crackitopen

the girl with her piano

this land she’s in
clothed in unfamiliarity
these colors blend, fade
and run out of hue
all light has changed
and turned into greyscale
tinted with every shade of blue

this room she’s in
suddenly fills with empty
shivering
she’s chilled to the bone
“where has he gone?”
maybe she just can’t see him
but she can’t help feeling
she’s all alone

yet she plays…she plays anyway
the Girl with her piano

in clarion clear
now she hears
yesterday’s tune
today as she plays
her song’s still brand new

this life she’s in
holds secrets yet to borrow
opening up
all she can know
she’ll sit and dream
all her tomorrows
the Girl with her piano
is where she still feels the flow

so she plays…she plays to the day
the Girl with her piano
