Player, Piano

My fingers confidently flounce through
all the Fugues and Blues they know. While
eyes lazily glaze over each primed page.
One footprint lovingly presses pedals
to the floor. Its companion drumming the beat,
dealing music at its core.
The keys dance an effortless routine, from
darkest black to blinding white and all colours
in between.
"When will life be this easy and free?"
The question, even now, whispers to me,
as I sit down, tonight, to practice.
