His fingers were gentle, flowing as they flew over the keys
The sounds were pure and feeling
We heard the piano play, carefree as a child
Then it jumped in chaotic movements chasing a little mouse
     it rejoiced in the miracle of life
     it worshipped the quite night
Together, they flowed
     mourning the passing moments
     lowing a pretty maiden
     honoring their heroes
     comforting a crying child.
Together, hands and keys hoped to understand humankind
     exploring hope, fear, grief, and love
     experiencing anticipation, pain, warmth, and hesitation
     understanding caring, wonder, waiting, and hope
     living in saddness, light, curiousity, and acceptance.
They ranged through many emotions, anger to appreciation to loss and light.
But they never found why there was cruelty
     why the world could not care
     why everyone could feel lonliness
     why people would hate
     why there was so much pain
It was not how it was meant to be.
Together, hands and keys discovered many things,
 but in the end, there were things they could not understand.
