Today

On By Piano girl 
Their pull was strong
Each equally vying
For my attention
Each equally charming
In their schemes
I smiled
A giddy smile
Looked to the right
Looked to the left
Again and again 
Unable to choose
The rising of the sun
Or the setting of the moon-
Both displayed
Varying shades
Of similar colors
Both held their purpose
Though one not 
So different from the other-
Looking straight ahead
The message quietly 
Fell across my heart-
Remember sweetly, without remaining in the past
Look forward without missing the hope in today
Secret of Life-James Taylor Kelley Morris, piano

  1. Oh my, this is so beautiful—the words and keys blending. “Again and again
    Unable to choose
    The rising of the sun
    Or the setting of the moon-“
    How often is this the struggle? ❤️ The last line is so profound. Thank you, Piano Girl, for a beautiful ending to this day.
