My Piano and I

When I feel sad or I feel confused
If I'm feeling blue or a little down
I find relief and escape from it all, in the
Music of its keys and melody of its sound.

When I'm seeking a refuge and haven
Free from toils and everyday things
The notes of the piano’s heart I play;
A soothing balm to my soul it brings.

Across the ivory my fingers roam
I drown out dreariness and gloom
The world and its heartaches are forgotten
As its sweet harmony fills the room.

While at the piano bench I sit
I play my troubles and sorrows away
I lose myself in the lulling strains
My fingers on its glossy keys play.

When I'm in want of a temporary rest
From some unpleasantness I feel
To my place of refuge in the piano I turn
Where problems fade and my wounds heal.

There at its keys is my hiding place
Where my heart is filled with its song
And what had led me to seek its comfort
Leaves my memory and passes along.

Tall in its corner stands the piano
‘Til again its relief I wish to find
From its bench to rise with renewed hope
With all the darkness left behind.
