albert nebel vl601;
made with spruce
and ebony pieces.
a steinway school,
ivory keys in every room.
what makes my body sturdy?
what is my foundation?
the joints and bones that fail to hold me up,
or
my heart and stomach that work overtime 24/7?
to learn music, you begin with the basics:
how to hold your instrument,
where to place your fingers,
how to stand,
how to read,
how to play.
my basics are failing me;
walking, standing, breathing,
heart beating.
without music, what am i?
if there is no music for me to play,
what is there for me to do?
if i am nothing without my music, my sound,
then is it over?
is my future ending as soon as its approaching?
to stand on stage,
to perform once more,
to play music without pain.
to live how i'd like to,
painless and full of notes
that make up msuic.
do i have to give up on that too?
