tread lightly along these keys

tread lightly on the keys
while holding steady, firm against your lips,
the ones that kiss me every day, the arms that hold me,
my arms hold this flute, elbows bent slightly, a rhythm
I have never known flows from me, up until this day
I have never heard this, or seen this,
but this is another day, another second,
it flows from me as if along a
verdant bank with well known
shores.
