I belong behind a Piano fingers gently splayed across the keys keeping time with my toes I long to have a Cello between my knees the button pressed against my chest every note vibrating through my limbs my shoulder and right hand feels empty without a Violin to keep them company weaving my melody through the air with silver thread stitching together the accompaniment and counter melody while the bass thrums through the floors fusing us together with itβs heartbeat my fingers twitch filled with the need to touch the thin cords of a Harp every lyrical note smoothing my frayed edges lulling me into a daze colors swirling behind my half lidded eyes the lullaby flows from my fingertips softly wrapping itself around me like a safety blanket the musician in me craves music the way a ****** needs ****** my body sways to the music in my head my soul belongs to the thrum and hum of the music my heart belongs to the bone deep vibrations of every note surrounded by music the heartbeat of the bass pulsing through my veins I have found where I belong the place my soul, body and mind finds peace I have found home in the reverberating notes of the Cello the thrumming heart of the Bass the steady pulse of the Piano the lilting lullaby of the Harp and the Violinβs silver melody
The button of a Cello connects the body, neck and fingerboard of the instrument. I didn't use Viola simply because of it's similarity to the Violin and Cello. The title is a very popular quote and I feel it ties together the feelings I poured into this poem.
