i met a girl in the eleventh grade

she played the piano

and as her hands tapped

against the ivory colored keys

she got lost in the sound

it was a song I had never

heard before

And throughout this song

her head was bowed low

just her fingers and the ivory keys

they were one.

on each black key

was a letter and together they read

"keep your head up, the world is yet to explore"

thirty six black keys

thirty six letters

one message

one song

one girl.
