The Piano



THE PIANO
The ominously, carefree sprinkling of frolicking snowflakes emblazoning the casual skies. Velvety tinkling pianissimos adorning the cold, wintry air. The flurry of melodic shower gradually progress to soothing warmth and transformed to the lush greenery of spring. The enchanting forest comes alive as ebony and ivory give life to all that live: birds singing, woodland creatures swinging and trees yielding to the approving winds that applaudingly blow. The forte of summer destroys any remnants of rhythmic inhibitions. Soulfully yielding to the flamboyant, colorful changes of autumn. These are the four seasons of the, the piano.
