Notes dance feverishly
Through the crowd
Ebony and ivory tickled lightly
As melodies fumble through my mind
A spark ignites
Deep within my soul
Building to a burning flame
Like starving hands
It grasps hungrily
At my throat
Clawing its way out I take a deep breath
As I stare into the endless void
And give birth to my creation
Sound seeps out with ease
The poetic definition of my soul
Wrapped carefully in harmonies
Silence fills the dimly lit stage
My heart stands still
Worried it might miss the reaction
Have I been heard?
Slowly, at first,
A roar builds
Applause and cheers envelope me
And I take a bow
