Blind Pianist's Hope

The sirens cried that Christmas Eve the fire fell where hearts believe he played her

so to drown the fear the light exploded

then disappeared she whispered play no matter how the world needs hope

Play for it now the blind pianist blazed through night

each key a prayer each note alight those eyes are gone

A soul still sees the dawn beyond the memories

Years have passed the city sleeps he counts his ghost where silence sweeps

her locket hangs beside the keys still warm with broken
