Her Violin
May 20, 2014
Nimble fingers fly
Upon the gilded strings
Yielding to the beauty
Of emotive melodies.
The bow strokes the chord
A sigh of ecstasy
Breathes into the air
Erasing enmity.
Her softly swaying dance
A fluid flowing stream
From the pressing of a chord
To the humming of a string.
Its magic twirls the air
Awakening in dreams
Soothing stormy minds
And evoking memories.

I play the violin and I must say it is the world's most beautiful (and hardest to play) instrument.
