Piano Keys

An old English assignment

Piano Keys

 

Every single piano key 
ebony or ivory 
playing a tune, soft and fair 
melody weaving through the air 

music, a path to the joy 
climbing like a vine 
remaining as eternal noise 
rising up the ranks of time 

hands are deft and diligent 
delving along the keys 
searching for the message sent 
as only the artist sees 

the melody is told 
the words are spoken 
a note of pure gold 
left as a token

 

the song remains

though silence abounds

nothing remains

of the piano’s soft sounds

Lots of figurative language, well organized and described. I'm a piano payer myself, so I appreciate this a lot. I like how you say "the song remains" although there is silence. The silence after a song greatly contributes to the effect of the piece, as you may well know. Well done Emma!

"the song remains
though silence abounds
nothing remains
of the piano’s soft sounds"

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i see such depth in this piece, metaphorically...the soft sounds of love between people, or among people..the black and white keys working together to create that peaceful sound...
