About This Poem

Annie's Song

Annie’s Song Annie sings the beauty into whispers full of light Annie sings the baubles into visions of delight Threading, threading, threading; Annie’s fingers never stop, while smiling, talking, giving gifts... won’t you come to Annie’s shop? Look and see, touch and feel, twirl pretties round and round. Give a listen to it all, ‘tis the song of Annie’s sound. “Sound?” you say, “I heard it not!” Oh, I say that it is so. It is the sound of Annie’s heart - the sound of this I know. Is it for love and beauty - the treasure that you seek? Should you doubt the choice of it give Annie just a peek of who and what is in your heart - of all you hold so dear - hearing is a form of art; Annie listens well...it’s clear. When her fingers start to fly with hemp and glass and stone see that what she makes for you is a creation much your own. Annie’s song is joined with yours - rhythm, tone and note, a joyous jeweled symphony, that you and Annie wrote.
