"
My father had a special connection with Sanya and the piano. However, Sanya and I shared something special of our own. Nights we were afraid, out mother who was branded a witch and was eventually hunted into hiding... would sing to us." Yoshika placed her hands against her chest, placing one palm firmly over the other and pressing deeply into her chest. It seemed she was done explaining to the owner.
She raised her arms and like a veteran maestro she began to wave them back and forth, imaging the white stick used to conduct weaving in and out of the air. In her mind a delicate piano melody echoed out while deep powerful bass began to grow in the background, slowly commanding more presence in the music that played through her mind. Softly, Yoshika began to sing, her voice low at first but began to rise in pitch along side the music only she could hear.
" Fear not this night. You will not go astray. Though shadows fall
still the stars..find their way.
Awaken from a quiet sleep. Hear the whispering of the wind.
Awaken as the silence grows in the solitude of the night
Darkness spreads through all the land and your weary eyes open silently.
Sunsets have forsaken all and must open their eyes now
Nightmares come when shadows grow.... Ice glows and heartbeats slow
Fear not this night. You will not go astray. Though Shadows fall
still the stars find their way
And you can always be strong. Lift your voice with the first light of dawn
Dawn is just a heartbeat away. Hope is just a sunrise away
Distant song of melody scoring through the night to your heart.
Auroras make circumstance in the solitude of our life.
Pleading silent arias gently grieving in captive misery.
Darkness sings a violent song yet our hope can still rise up
Nightmares come where shadows grow. Lift your voice lift your heart
Fear not this night. You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars find a way
And though the night skies fill with weakness. Fear not, press on. Hold out and take my hand!
Fear not this night! You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars find a way!
Fear not this night! You will not go astray. Though shadows fall still the stars find a way!
And you can always be strong. Lift your voice with the first light of dawn!
Dawn is just a heartbeat away.... Home is just a sunrise away...."
Tears. Yoshika had begun to cry.
How? She thought, the dead have no emotion. They began to flow quite freely down her cheeks, landing on the white bedspread. It was then she realized that her hand was resting firmly but gently on Sanya's shoulder. Her crying grew in intensity, her bright purple eyes glistened with each drop.
