The Pianist

The Pianist

Take me to the place of my dreams
and give me the strength to touch others
with this music, this magic we create together.
I stare out at our crowd and flex my fingers,
I gently press your keys to begin
and we become one with Mozart.

A classic that can be played time and time again,
sweet melody of purity and serenity.
I can see the notes and colors dance in my head,
this is where I am most happy, sharing my gift,
aspiring others to do the same.
Young children in awe of the scene
wide eyed with whispers of glee.

I concentrate,
putting all of my passion and weeks of hard work into this moment,
this few minutes that seems to last a lifetime.
I give it my all.
