    Violin


    The soundtrack of my life
    Is a forlorn hymn
    Played skillfully on a violin.
    The moon rises across the night sky
    In time to the rhythm of those strings
    Plucked to a Hebrew rhyme.

    I love men who play the violin-
    Especially when they're angels,
    Standing in the middle of a park.
    Unaware people pass by without
    Thought of where or why this song
    Is floating passed their ears.

    But, I stop and listen,
    Wait and listen,
    And listen.

    Until that song sinks in,
    Passed the thickness of my skin-
    Through the muscles and arteries-
    Until those joyful notes dance around my
    Organs- and they are one with my breath.
    That is when a song makes sense,
    When my life makes sense...
    When this song called life makes sense.
