Analysis of Ivory Keys
long slender fingers dance
over the ivory keys
as people dance and sing
love is all around
as grace takes over
from key to key
and note to note
the sway of music
fills the air with
a longing of another
time, a time long
forgotten, all that
was lost, or thought
was gone forever
