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
