Piano

the freedom 
to play 
without following a melody 
or playing a set of notes 

I feel the tension 
the anger 
the depression 
the excitement 
the worship 
go through my body 
into my hands 

into the music 
that surrounds me 

as I play to God 
I forget that I’m in a room 

to me, I’m playing 
what I feel inside 

I close my eyes 
and just listen 
as I move my fingers 
and create a prayer to God 

a prayer of thanksgiving 
a prayer of anger and frustration 
a prayer from the most hidden depths of my soul
