The Violinist

A violin plays 
Softly in the breeze 
Its melody floats in the 
Air 
A lone sparrow flies 
Landing on the delicate violin 
It turns to sand on the beach 
The lone violinist 
Weeps 
He curses the sparrow 
To no longer fly 
Causing the sparrow 
To wither and die 
The violinist cries out 
As he slowly turns to sand himself 
And is swept into the sea
