Fingers dancing,

Flying through the air,

Knowing just which keys to press.

Single notes join,

Becoming a masterpiece.

 

Pen dancing,

Flying through the air,

Knowing just which strokes to make.

Single words join,

Becoming a masterpiece.

 

White notes, black sharps;

White page, black ink.

You and I.

Black and White.
