There Is Peace In My Piano

on the other side of yesterday
and this side of tomorrow
mourning and foreboding can be difficult notions to escape
entertaining the unwelcome guest that is silence

terror is the absence of sound
a mind running around in circles
beating a  path into rotten ground until
the quiet seems like an insurmountable hell

but it is not

as i place my fingers upon a few keys
stillness is broken with euphonious magic
the wonder of melody

and somewhere in those notes is god
is the answer to question
is everything

somewhere in those notes
is
peace
