Filling the Silence

She sits with perfect posture,

The ivory keys await  her touch,

The notes on the page in front of her,

Pleading to be heard,

Respectful silence engulfs the audience,

A single note sounds,

Startling the silence,

Like a solitary bird chirping in the morning

Notes pour from the piano,

Like raindrops,

Hesitantly,

Then,

Full of confidence,

Somewhere,

In the sea of  notes,

Hides a young girl,

But all that is noticed,

Is the music.
