Opening the door of silence Walking in, absorbing it, the musty smell The tranquility not mighty enough To vanquish the babble of the world. Yet, here, here the footsteps echo, Until my seat arrives, and there I am. This is my sanctuary, And none may touch me.
For my fingers stride and slide Attempting to mimic the geniuses of the past Their beautiful gift I try to hear Only two senses keen here, of ear and eye My heart warms to the reverberations around And my sight upon my fingers, guiding This is my sanctuary And all may hear me.
And then my gaze lifts up, echoes know The emptiness within the infrastructure Thoughts cross, the echoes continue on All for myself, the broken silence is. But the silence stands in harmony with it The gift of geniuses past. This is my sanctuary Yet I am alone.
