COMPOSING

regarding musical composition

Sheets of paper
Covered with lines in groups of five
Sit on the piano
Waiting for the sharpened pencil
To dance

Ivory keys
Separated by ebony
Rest on the piano
Waiting for pianist fingers
To dance

Musical mind
Haunted by melody and harmony
Stares at the staff paper
Waiting for music from his mind
To dance
