It's melody making my heart vibrate. It’s sound like that of flowing water. With every key pressed, every tone heard, I feel my soul relishing the moment, a moment of bliss, a moment that the weight of the world is removed from my shoulders, a moment which breaks my shackles and sets my being toward freedom.

And for but a moment a glint of hope can be seen over my oblivion. Oh the sweet music that reaches my ears, my skin… my heart.

But alas, the moment is but a breath and soon the melody slows down, the sound fades away, my heart returns to earth. Each moment that passes seems all the more difficult, each breath heavier, each fleeting second like eternity. I’m still here, I’m still stuck to where I’ve been trapped all this time. My shackles remain, my darkness remains… So I lay still, lying in wait…

Waiting for someone to play the melody one more time…
