If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awoke—Aye, and what then?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

The Violinist

 


I adrift,
Upon immense vastness,
Surrounded by emptiness
Yet constricted by stagnant winds,
Overwhelming confusion,
Followed by,
Misunderstood thoughts,
Or words!
Played upon,
Like a fine tuned violin,
Every note… perfection!

But, hand or arm vibrato
Modulates the pitch,
That’s heard across the desert floor,
Which carries into the expanse
The haunting tonal effects,
Dipping into dunes of time.

Your distinctive qualities,
Numerous,
Like a lover who plucks the chords,
To suit an orchestral performance!

Your classical melodies
Produce seamless changes
From key to key
And chord to chord
Creating an almost perfect,
Harmonic world!

Reviewed on November 18, 2007

It seems that the author of "The Violinist" was accompanied by Euterpe and Erato when this wonderful poem was composed.

In admiration,

Sorry it took me so long to find this stunning piece of work. You grabbed me initally with the Coleridge quote and after that, it simply got better.
Splendid piece of writing here my friend.

Dear Elga,

Your poetry is like the hairs of a bow which softly stroke the violin, creating the melody of the human soul.

Love & Light always and in all ways,

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
