Creation of Song

Melody
Notes seemingly playing in unison
As the arm stretches with gentle flow
Allowing the fragile bow
The joy of bringing forth emotion
As a tune melodiously comes alive
Brought forth by the imagination of he
Or even of she, as the heart of the holder
Becomes the artist and maestro in one
Sing softly on gentle contact
Sing loudly on long hard pulls
Sing quickly on short releases
As all the notes tie together to reveal
The music within the heart
