Song of the Violin


 

Notes escape from the violin as bow kisses strings

Breathe of a melody  pure as whisper of angel wings

Shattered windowpane allows heaven to share

Nocturnal sighs escape through the balmy air

When dawn awakens household below

Violin will remain alone with its bow

Dusty and discarded on wooden attic box

Neglected, rejected like unmated socks.

But the predawn medley so hauntingly sweet

Is joined with serenade in the stars complete

With seraphim and other heavenly host

Crying Holy, Holy, Holy to His Utmost

  4. This is so beautiful. I can hear the sad lonely song of the violin and feel the hopefulness rising out of the dusty attic. Very nicely done!
