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.
