Étude Op. 25, No. 1 - Amidst the Ruins
Her melody carries a new kind of melancholy
amidst the ruins of her home
Even war cannot kill the human spirit
Because beauty
can be found even in the darkest places
even in the harshest zones
Broken chords
unspoken words
the sound travels in the air
Beyond the rubble and debris
Each note knows no boundaries
Going far
to hearts and ears in the vast distance
giving hope
Her melody buries the grief and sorrow
Even if it’s just for a little while
Because yesterday’s history
cannot tell tomorrow
As the music soothes the soul
bringing tears and smiles
She plays beautifully
amidst the ruins of her home
To an audience all around the world
A masterful performance
that echoes in the human spirit
Knowing she’s not alone
