Life, Death, Piano

a man, aging yet still of play
for he, a piano plays he
and piano plays he well

but die does our aging man
for he, dead, yet playing on
and piano plays beyond

as born is a child born
for he, a piano plays he
and how plays our child well

a gift, piano, barely learned
but known in this child
as once known in aging man

and thus man in child born
for he, a piano plays he
as forever our piano be
