_Ebony and ivory._
Intermixed clefs.
A landscape of sound.
Not paint, but vibration.
Stories woven in air.
_Imagination_ ignited.
Tales spun from silence.
Love, a melody repeated.
Swooning, a chord held long.
_Emotions_, a full spectrum.
Darkness, a low rumble.
Light, a high trill.
Hard, a percussive strike.
Soft, a gentle sustain.
_Symphonies_, vast and sprawling.
_Rhapsodies_, wild and free.
Logic, a precise sequence.
Mathematics, a hidden structure.
A language without words.
_Universal_, no translation needed.
Across every boundary.
No wall can hold it back.
Species, all ears attuned.
Culture, a shared experience.
A resonance that binds us.
A bridge built of notes.
___Eighty-eight___ keys.
___Eighty-eight___ possibilities.
Each a doorway.
Each a journey.
From the quietest _whisper_.
To the loudest roar.
A universe contained.
In the space between.
A _heartbeat_ in rhythm.
A breath in harmony.
The _soul_ expressed.
Pure, unadulterated.
No need for explanation.
No need for justification.
Just the sound.
And the feeling it evokes.
A timeless current.
Flowing through us all.
A language of the heart.
___Eighty-eight___ keys, infinite feeling.

Found myself listening to Jordan Critz.... specifically "Starry Night" and "Novella"
Music can inspire just as much as lyrics, poems, paintings, or nature. They inspire feelings, emotional upheavals, joy, imagination, and can touch everyone a different way.
So, I present for your consumption - Eighty-Eight
