Silent Night

The piano reverberates hauntingly the note holds for a instant, before falling back to nothing, hanging in the air sad and slothful as if it was headed someplace it had really wanted to go and then it suddenly forgot where that place might be. Then just as quickly as it came it is gone lost somewhere to time and space. Life is truly fleeting for a musical note strummed or hummed or hammered or clanged they dart from ear to ear wall to wall attempting to transcend the very laws they are obligated to obey and then they fizzle out like a lonely old man taking his last breath alone and full of regret each leaving no trace that they had ever existed at all.
