This piano nocturne explores the thawing out period between the abuse and the healed individual. As I composed Thaw, I focused on the mixed bag of feelings I went through as I began to feel a small bit of safety. After being frozen and even petrified for an extended period of time, healing is followed by processing and releasing many awful memories during which you begin to thaw out, drip by drip, clawing your way through a melting pot of emotions all mixed up and announcing themselves in an unpredictable order.
