From far I hear the strains of a mournful melody It flows from a violin whose strings are about to break As the violin sings, the night carries the music along. The notes tremble, the strings vibrate as under grief It makes such deep tremors in my heart. Its mournful cry is repeated in sad refrains My mind turns emotional, yes, I cry. Once from it flowed happy notes of love It whispered secrets of lovers, their hopes and dreams It sang of tales of courage that build the soul, Of standing tall and shouldering on in the midst of trials. But now its harmony fades away like dying breath The violin knows, its end is drawing near, It can no more produce heart stirring music again. The bittersweet melody that falls in my ears, With its notes breaking again and again, Creates ripples of pain in my heart. As the loose strings are about to break, It will soon lie still in a deserted space, Cracked and splintered like a tree tossed by the wind. Yet the broken violin will remain, As a momentous testament of its glorious past.

' Its harmony fades away like dying breath, ' because ' the violin knows its end is drawing near. ' So sad. I'm thinking beyond music and the elegance of the violin. For me, this is an emotional reminder that life is fragile. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart, Valsa. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy

Hello Valsa, Congratulations on your POTD. When someone plays the violin it is sad music that is heard. yet it is a beautiful sound. A violin is played in classical music, I listen to classical music often. Hugs. Darlene/

The imagery strikes me on a visceral level penetrating throughout my very being, Valsa I can hear the sweet sounds of the weeping violin being played, an organic experience. Although it's a painful part of life never to be played again, it will remain an indelible part of your spirit. Soulful and melancholy. Congratulations on POTD, Valsa George! xo

Congratulations, Dear Valsa, for your honour of POTD. What an outstanding poem, with stunning images of a violin's "glorious past" and now lying in a "Deserted space"! This happens to many objects which we used to cling to, in our life! My daughter plays violin. Love and Hugs ~ Mala

Wow, Congratulations, on the POTD, Valsa! It's beautifully written and has such a bittersweet taste of the violin's life and its strings—however, the second stanza sang into my existence. (Once from it flowed happy notes of love It whispered secrets of lovers, their hopes and dreams. It sang of tales of courage that build the soul, Of standing tall and shouldering on in the midst of trials.) But this piece inspires me a lot, and I want to say thank you! Warm Regards, William

Dear Valsa, how did I miss this masterpiece. First of all congratulations on POTD! Your artistry is noted by this honor. The violin, once a source of joyous and inspiring music, now produces a mournful melody as it nears the end of its life. How sad! All three of my daughters play violin and my oldest daughter is a high school orchestra director. I know this is for a contest and I would say this is a great reflection on the inevitability of change and decay, and the enduring impact of past beauty and joy, even as they fade away. All good things fade with time and what a glorious testament to the violin glorious past. Your ink symbolized how memories and legacies persist despite the passage of time and the onset of deterioration. Congrats! - Blessings, My Dear Valsa, Daniel

Dear Daniel, glad to note that you are a family gifted with music. It is a rare gift for which you should be thankful to God. Your three daughters playing violin is something exceptional over which you can rejoice as a father. Yes, change and decay are two inevitable realities of life. But the past beauty something leaves behind remains long and that matters much. I loved the way you looked at my poem and understood the message I wished to leave. Thanks a lot dear esteemed poet friend.
