The Pianist and the Peculiar Swan
Beneath a starlit sky
of an early tranquil night
A solo pianist sits
in the middle of a quiet valley
A lost swan,waddles by
in a forbidden lake
Seeking reflections
as moonbeams cast their glow
upon the lone man's silhouette.
'Pull off your mask '
He heard her say
as She glided towards him
in a smooth and graceful way.
''I need to see what lies behind
those once upon a glistening eyes.
I need to hear you play again
I yearn to hear you sing
I want to waltz in ballet
to your voice against the wind.'
His lifeless mask fell slowly to the ground
Into a thousand pieces without making a sound.
His youthful soul revealed
Like a splash in calm beauty
His fingers were released.
Knocking on her heart-chords
He composed new symphonies
Dark feathers drifted by
like tragic memories
He did not let another yesterday
Steal all the joy, take all the bliss
He bathed in fresh waters
and showered with her kiss.
...And the pianist plays again
A found swan ,pirouettes
Her wings She opens freely
He rests in her embrace.
Inspired by music ,and a disney movie
I watched awhile ago with my girl called
'The Swan Princess' :)
