Black and white

No grey to confuse me

Right or wrong

No hazy obscurity

I thought I knew all of you

Your black and your white

But I found I was wrong

You showed me your sight

For when your keys began their melody

The black and white did mix

And colours, shades, and patterns

Did my soul transfix

From black and white

And time and space

The melody arose

The notes all giving chase

The black the white

The right the wrong

The good the bad

Now is a song

This melody this song of life

Familiar to my ears

I realize now this piece of time

Is the music of my years

Every note and every measure

That the piano now did play

Was a passage of my life

A year a month a day

The music swelled then suddenly

The piano ceased to sound

I looked into the music and

The next page wasn't found

I worried. Then I realized

The next page was tomorrow

And what I chose would then decide

The notes that page would borrow

The black the white, the right the wrong

The steps I take today

Tomorrow will I want to hear

What the piano has to play
