A stage A young woman In a long black dress Slim fingers And a taste for Music. Hesitant, Brow furrowed But slowly walking Towards the gleaming Piano. She sits and stares At the white, pearly Keys laid out Before her. She places her hands Delicately Softly Lovingly On the white And black ladder. Where does it lead? To a friends laugh A loving hug And a first kiss- Sweetness equal To that of Chocolate. She pushes down Lightly on the first rung And a deep tone Pierces the dark room. A smile plays mischievously on Her mouth As she once again Tastes the Music.
