Poems from Cassidy Paredes

FLYING

by

My hands fell softly on the white and black keys—

Gliding across them as the piano sang the tune of my anguish.

And note by note it healed my soul.

Healed the hurt—healed the feeling of falling

That often accompanied my heavy heart.

Now I was flying, like the melody escaping its wooden cage.

It was my escape too.

Ded. The music in me
