Intake of breathe of breath at haunting wail
From stroke of bow ’cross quivering string
Whilst notes, with wings like dragon flies,
Stream forth from belly’s depths and sing
And sumptuous lace-edged chords infuse
The very air with ruse of blues
Reverberation dancing where
The eye can’t see but mind pursues
*
Incessant strains of mellow song
As colours fill the void with sound
Whilst practiced fingers play the board
And ultimate expression’s found
Bestowing soul, its loyal muse,
With utter joy at artful cues
Soft echoes reaching out until
The heart is bathed in golden hues
*
Thus mind is lost in glorious noise
Whilst string’s reverberations dance
Such magic takes a hold within
And nothing e’er shall get the chance
To break the spell these sounds infuse
By way of inspiration’s dues
Our heart and soul as one immersed
In art our Maestro’s hand construe s
*
Drawn to close this recitation
Breath expelled in admiration.
