Song of Strings

Song of the Strings

The skill, truly an art form

a sophistication

as the halls are filled

with musicians 

bows  drawn

to flow smoothly

against the strings

each section adds their voices

a swell of sound that 

climbs and resonates

notes and chords lead and twirl

as the musicians follow

the Maestro’s directions

to create total harmony

as they show pure heart

passion and joy

music to uplift, sooth or arouse the soul

will the world swoon in approbation

or will only some take time 

to listen and enjoy the sounds

made on instuments of wood and gut
