Revival

An old, forgotten piano

rests in stillness

anticipating

beneath a veil of settled dust

Glistening specks float

glowing in beams of sunlight

dancing

to memories of melodies

Coated keys of black and white

preserved through fleeting years

longing

for a satisfying renewal

She trails her finger through the dust

a clean black line follows

revealing

potential despite neglect

The old stool creaks when she sits

a familiar sound

comforting

a prelude to a sleeping symphony

She hesitates, then touches a key

a note emerges

resonating

a declaration of resilience

And with a sweep of her fingers

a passion is rediscovered

awakening

stirring up the settled dust
