Longing for Beauty

It's been so long
since reaching out
with fingers frail
to gently touch
the ivory keys
the black and white
spilling themselves
before my eyes
and under my hands
the notes themselves
again come to life
as silence fills
with a calming bliss
and my soul empties
pouring the troubles
leaving the aches
longing for beauty
much like the kind
I once found in you
