Piano,
a needful object to love oneself,
a resourceful instrument
in forgetting about depression and war.
Who needs war?
Who doesn't need piano?
The fingers softly rose on the piano
needing to play
wanting to hear the rhythms, the beats.
Aching to be in the moment
of the music,
to forget about the cold world.
Cords, scales
Breathe in, breathe out
Meditate, relax.
The need to keep playing,
to be lost in the sound of music.

Fingers dancing on the keyboard,
feeling every note
each note transports a different tone to the ear
(sharp, soft)
different feelings of happiness
(excitement, laughter)
different sounds of belongingness
(safety, calm).
Every song
bringing a different memory to the pianist
it doesn't matter
how many times
the song is played.
