You are ebony, you are ivory,
You are classical, you are contemporary,
From Bach to Pop and everything in between,
You are nourishment for my inner being,
Your sweet soothing sounds lift my spirit and transport me to places unknown,
You have all the keys to my emotions and make my burdens feel like weightless stones,
Your harmony in synced with my soul creating beautiful sounds like hammers tapping on strings,
With your vibrating rhythms and beautiful chords I am lost in your every note.

You carry me through a labyrinth of feelings, sometimes angst but yet beautiful and soothing,
You influence my mood and enhance my concentration,
At work, leisure and play,
Your flats, sharps and tones I can consume all day
Like poetic octaves, every stroke of your keys caresses my inner ear.
You mess with my brain in a good way by calming all fears.
You caress my soul while creating cerebral stimulation,
Listening to you my world is free of complications.

With every scale my heart quickens
And my skin filled with goose pimples
Your complexity is beyond the imagination...Percussion or String,
Hammering your way through my heart and gently touching every fibre within.
You are like poetry, you evoke my senses and imagination,
You are capable of producing mixed emotions,
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow,
Hearing you being played gives me hope for tomorrow.
You are like sweet music to my ears, your acoustical sounds leave me spell bound.
Whether I am floating on cloud nine or experiencing an exhilarating adrenaline free fall,
You possess all the keys and I will always be drawn to your mesmerizing call.
