Melody of the Story



  Slowly my violin cries;
As the bow weeps across the strings.
The tone swells in the air
                 and
                 the notes
            drop
         to the cold floor.
    The readied position,
as the violin takes a       breath.

Quick;
My bow as it jumps.
Notes sing and wake the air.

A pop to my step
            and a twirl to the dance,
we swirl and swing as one.

The
            short
                        notes
                                    chirping
                                                    sweetly.
A gentle sway to the rhythm.

The bow happily eases,
and encourages the notes from hiding.

A leisurely descent,
as the notes recede.

The air sits unruffled;
                                    And still.
