Poem: Solace

Solace

By abbyweyr July 2011

Inspired by TWS by Stephenie Meyer

Fingers dance across piano keys

Notes float in air

Music lets my mind be alone

Music is my solace

Even before my change

Music was a place to just be

Emotions flowed in and around the notes

As my fingers danced across the keys

Now immortal, music still

Is a place to just be

To express emotions

As my fingers dance across the keys

Music is my rest and refuge

From the constant noise of mental voices

As I play piano or listen to recorded

Music is my solace.

No where else do I have quiet

To hear only my thoughts

But within the solace of music

Until a quiet mind that is not heard

With her quiet mind

I hear only my thoughts

And still be with someone

Music is no longer my only solace
