Symphony of the Soul

With each delicate touch of the keys, his connection to the instrument deepened, his fingers guided by the very soul of the piece. For the musician, nothing but unity with the instrument existed. Fleeting emotions flowed from his lachrymose eyes; the movements of his hands became more relaxed as he nimbly danced them over the ivory keys.

In awe, admiration rose from the members of the crowd as the melody washed over them, inducing an alluring trance. They feel the gentle pull on the tapestry of their emotions as the notes swirl around, creating an enamoring and entrancing atmosphere. The timbre of the music reverberated off the walls, reverent and captivating.

Spellbound, they stared at the man who sat on stage, his eyes closed in tranquil surrender. Behind the curtain of his eyelids, the world faded, leaving only the celestial landscape of his composition. His body moved in harmony with the music, every note resonating deep within him.

Some would call it "being in the zone", yet only he had access to this state of mind. No teacher or philosopher was able to sufficiently explain it. Through dedication and presence in the present, he found his way into the submission of his craft.

In moments like these the past and present intertwined as memories of the past welled up. He remembered his youth, feeling the pull music had on his heartstrings. With each passing year, this unwavering connection remained a steadfast and continual presence in his life; strengthened anytime he played his original pieces with all his heart and soul.

The stage lights were dim and candles invitingly lit the stage, reflecting in the glossy paint of the instrument. Dancing to the cadence of the music reverberating throughout the hall, drawing the crowd's attention.

While the closing note hung in the air, a pregnant pause enveloped the auditorium. The musician's hands rested gently on the keys, eyes closed as he savored the lingering resonance. The crowd held their breath, cautious to not break the spell. In that suspended moment, the connection between artist and audience conjoined, bridging the gap between performance and remembrance.

With a slow gradual inhale, the musician's hands finally moved, breaking the stillness. His eyes opened and gazed at the sea of faces before him. The silence that followed was not a void, but an echo, a whisper of the concluded performance that would resonate long after the final note had faded.

During that silence the piece's beauty morphed into an unending echo; overcoming the emptiness of silence that should have ensued. Marking the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to witness it.
