Nostalgia Recital



When my fingers hit the keys

My soul escapes through melody

The Midnight Sonata fills the air

Im finished now, I leave my chair

The crowd stands up and applauds.

I bow in return, my expression awed.

The lights dim now, the room fills black.

I close my eyes, then starts the flash back.

My fingers touched the black and white keys.

My soul escaped with the fragile melody.

The Midnight Sonata fills the chilly air.

I finished then and left my chair.

The crowd stands up, I am awed.

All of the people start to applaud.

The headlights fade, the room fills black.

I open my eyes and end the flash back.
