Echo
Feet arched like a hunter's bow
A familiar face smiles as if to ask
"Are you ready?"
I turn back to my reflection
Years of neglect hide all my imperfections
The player strokes a few notes from the beaten piano
It's time
I strech out like the sunrise
And slide my foot across the once glossy oak floor
The melody intesifies
My body follows the notes
My feet flutting like butterflies
Never missing a step
It's like I had never stopped
The tune slows
And my body begins to wilt
The player tickles the last note out of the piano
And vanishes
Leaving me alone
With the echo
