Communion

It's been such a long time

Since I've visited this place.

Solace 

I belong here

Quiet and unassuming space. 

Surrounded

I partake of you 

And revel in your embrace. 

This is our communion

Sacred and pure

The moment I sit down to play 

The world disappears 

And all I feel is the music. 

I sing 

But it isn't my voice

A string of notes connecting us like DNA.

Worship

When I'm wholly connected

Everything else falls away.

Our Communion

You and I together. 

We're in tune, you and me,

Nobody on the outside understands 

We're composing a symphony. 

Words don't matter

Just notes and keys and vibrations. 

Emotions and trauma

Muscle memory

My whole being

Melts away.  

My communion with you

Is such a relief. 

They'll never know the weight

That intimacy released. 

The minute I sit down to play and sing

It used to be a beautiful thing. 

Because in a room full of people

I was alone with you at the piano.
