Notes About The Poem

 

For Brian Strand's Your Choice u Poetry Contest

7 June 2025
Upon watching "The Godfather's Theme" with Andrei Rieu on violin.

 

Ekphrasis on The Godfather's Theme


midst silents screams of strings
his hands weave~
an ornate oratorio palace
built from celestial hands

And when the final notes fade
like the last glimmer
of a midnight lamp
the silence glows.
