The old violin removed from its case
The bow still in mint condition
If struck wrong then it will screech and howl
But in the hands of someone who is trained
And who is practiced; it will sing beautifully
Wailing vibrations pleasing to the ear
Affecting mood and feeling
Making one want more and more
Bringing forth crescendo after crescendo
Peaks and valleys in perfect tempo
A driving rhythm steady and sure
Pulling at your heart strings gently
Bringing you to weep when the song ends
Sadness for you need another song
That for which you truly long
The old violin improves with age
The soft lines on its body
The silky smooth feel of the varnish
Living without the boundaries of time
At times stung tightly
At others quite relaxed
Truly a joy to hold and play
The Violinist quite skilled
Crafty with his fingers
Practices day in and day out
Waiting for that one big performance
Deftly caressing the instrument
As he coddles it close to his chin
Becoming one with the Violin
Let us make beautiful music together
For you are my instrument
I am the player
Each note shared brings bliss
As we too become one
Your love is music to my heart
