When you look at me, you see only a fraction of my reflection, and my reflection shows only a fraction of me.

Rolling Rolling
hands upon the piano
fingers falling
right in some proper place so
that a melody
has this possibility
to set us free
so I listen to the notes play
and I can hear half the world pray
as the notes decay
into silence I find
is not silent in my mind
because I hear
with my fragile ears
a melody brought together by our fears
and it runs down smooth like our tears
upon our cheeks
down it falls as the sounds travels up mountain peaks
and I know melody is the way our hearts leak
out as one
then just like it came- it is done.
