the pianist

This is the building I call home
yet no bed occupies the space
I see no pictures of babies or siblings or pets
there's no trace of me here...

In this great wide expanse of earth and learning and people
I feel lost
I feel squashed
I am small

Yet in this single structure I am
alive
whole
....calm

A spirit of greatness is ever present
and I feel it penetrate my soul
as I play

I am a musician, an artist, a magician

the notes sing (words you and I don't know)
the sound is rich
the plink plink of the notes heals my pain
and I

......find peace

  2. carbon copy cold rooms made of concrete
    sit there, quietly, predicting, in your seat
    nothing to loose, nothing you can't gain
    from the way you deal with the love and pain
    keeping the satisfaction on the level of foundation
    build your life body from shoes up
    from the things you don't want to give up
    and from everything you've discovered is tough
    only one way to learn and its difficult
    hold the presence tight and survive the crucible
    speak it all, as though somebody inspired your mandible.
