her fingers dance across the keys

creating a sound that

floats through the halls

and ends at my bedroom door

it sneaks underneath the crack

between the door and the wooden floors,

flowing through one ear and out the other

before pulling away and flying out the open window

so the neighbours can hear

a smile paints their faces,

one quite similar to mine,

as they listen to the music she created

with her joyful memories

but she may never know

what the music from her soul

makes the outsiders feel

as it flows through the streets

of our hometown

a/n: this was inspired by the song that my piano teacher was playing before our lesson :-)
