Empty Tones

The language of mellow keys

The hammer strikes the copper string

Quiet melodic vibrations ring,

An anthem that voices will never sing

 

A song to keep your heart at bay

A debt to you I couldn't pay

A mind of thoughts fading away

A secret of which I couldn't say

 

A promise that was never sworn 

A gift to you left unadorned 

A book from which this page was torn

A song that still remains forlorn

 

The damper petal softly pressed

To lay the ringing notes to rest

The tone of which the notes professed,

Is The Sound that you and I know best
