Burning Flame

21 October 09

.

The house is so quiet

She’s all alone

Sits down at the piano

One note plays alone

.

She hums along with it

More notes she plays

Closing her eyes

She sings of sweeter days

.

But she is so young

Too young for a broken heart

The words come from

A world apart

.

The fingers play harder

The voice strengthens

Secretly she imagines

The crowds wild and listens

.

She’s on stage

Lights are so bright

Fever in her plays out

She knows this sight

.

Louder she plays

Notes that just come

Where I do not know

They just come

.

All alone this this young girl

Plays a fever from within

Lost in creativity

Will this ever end

.

Surrounded by the concert hall

Fans screaming out her name

No one can hurt her now

She is the burning flame

.
