playing the violin


Playing the violin 

Hoping to make a sound

Trying not to screech 

When the song goes from quiet 

To loud

Testing every note 

Trying every rhythm

Watch the notes leap of the page

Your soul moving with ‘em

Moving from high to low

Crescendo

Fast or slowed down

The sound could move across town

Hopp

Stop! 

There’s a rest

The vibration everywhere 

Frome north to south

To east to west

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
