His aquamarine eyes
don´t rest for long on the reflective surface
but they return to the black mountains and white fields,
like a painter, looking at the virgin canvas
untouched yet, but soon bursting with colours

In complete silence
he takes a breath,
lowering his gaze, humbly,
his slim fingers falling onto the keys like silk scarves,
before they´ll fly like the wind-
he´s focussing his concentration for a few seconds
sharpening his high-precision mind like a knife blade

Before letting go
Before
The
Sound

Symphony takes over its eternal reign
filling the halls with coloured light
and crystalline symmetry makes
the stars start singing
He lights up rainbows, enlightening the domes
every note like a sunray flooding the air
It´s raining glassy pearls
like a waterfall in the valleys of harmony
And the world
stops rotating for a moment
to listen to
The
Sound
while he´s floating above the skies

And when the dance is over
The sound died away
Everything rests for a moment of pure silence
He always knew
this is his only reward
The breath of hundreds of souls
mesmerized by the beauty of perfection
But he always knew they´ll never understand
when the applause starts
he´s banished from paradise
I´m a pianist myself... just wanted to describe my feelings..sometimes
