Hope

The music carries you away the pounding of the keys with the tempo, the beat- contradicts your feelings the composer playing smiles as the keys compress and bounce back with a note- a note of sorrow, despair, hope, and happiness one little note can change the tide of a song and one little song can begin a revolution the audience grows tense as the composition reaches it's high point the composer readies and releases a flurry of notes finally a ping as the last note is released then silence- the audience is gone replaced by the music's message applause rings out from everyone- the smallest child right to the oldest man emotions paint the faces of the listeners and the composers own tears fall on the instrument each person depict what they saw and what they saw depicts them soon the audience files out only leaving the looks of longing behind what was seen what was heard is a story for each to tell the composer sits with the instrument and slowly her fingers glide across the black and white keys what she saw, what the piano rang out- the music gave its own meaning and by doing that the piano in its music the composer with her tune together made something beautiful something other than music they made hope...
