A Failing Lonely Music Poem by shirani ibrahim

Thoughts that take me back, a texture in perfect tune playing every note

An ebony looking piano so new, the keys ivory white, flawless with many a devote

Beauteous to life to play a melody designed, lively andsweet to many ears

The musical rhythm in harmony, bringing a serenityto the atmosphere.

Thumping the many hours, minutes, that so majestically then displayed.

Seen now with lines drawn around the face, many a hardships detailed.

Gone with the years, now wasted, distorted, dumb and left in sheer daze

Alone surrounded by four walls, seated in a corner, a laptop, begins a new phase

The silvery streaks shining through the once so ebony black well groomed hair

The touch of that mastery hand slowly slipping away with lesser love and care

the joyous glow, the gentle musical softness, may face many an empty smile.

But not a burden hard to bear cos God makes all impossible road really worthwhile.

Like the dusty old piano abandoned and brings no comfort to the air

Withering hands, elegance shrinks, a coldness, with feelings, despair? ?

The worthy of a soul with the creeping of old age, the body a creaking

Concern cease, just memories of days, once kept a world a glowing! ! !
