the Quiet Piano

Please Enjoy




 ...it was just a dusty old piano
whose song had long since grown quiet

so i sat at the keys
and said "piano, would you please?

i have one song left...may i try it?"

for the first time in years i played a new song
then i bowed to an audience of none

and when i walked away from the antique piano
the silence of music was done...







...and since that moment
i have known that music is silence
given new life...
