The Strings To My Heart

To run my fingers along your neck To hear your musical voice To glide across your strings divine The music of my choice The dancing bow, the finger moves The music wings its way through time Never ending music My heart sings with it sublime To follow the voice on its journey To feel every note through a fingertip The beat in harmony with a heartbeat Musical harmony with God’s maple tree. Music dances with the angels above Ribbon of horse hair stroke strings of gut Harmonious sounds fill the atmosphere The ribbon glides masterfully with love. The joy to swipe the bow beyond Four strings to make them sing and cry The heart light or full of gaiety Happiness and tears au fond. © Mandy Tams 24/12/2014 Neck, bow, gut, ribbon, maple. Pieces to make a violin sing.
