A Violin's Reason

What is it,

That fascinates me so?

Of the smooth, polished wood,

Of the horse-tail bow

How’s its beauty,

Awe to me every time?

Thin, tightened strings,

All indeed, gratefully mine

When is its sound,

The purest it can be?

In the minutes I breathe it in,

It flows into me

Like leaves in the wind, they swirl,

They jingle, drum and whir,

Carried out or cut off,

Bumping along or boldly sure!

The notes fly like fairy’s,

From the magic strings of my violin,

And mesmerizingly lost, I’ll play till very end

This is beautiful and melodious in itself while talking about a musical instrument and the way it makes you feel........

Hi Legos, I love music, too. I watched august rush the other night and sobbed through the whole thing. My family is in the music business and my grandmother was a concert pianist and graduate of the New England Conservatory. I get goosebumps all over when I hera reallly good music. Loved your poem.

Wow... I love this... music is also one of my passions and I think it takes a passion for music to put it in such beautiful heart-felt words. Great Write!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
