Violet:Viola

You are both a flower and an instrument,
One embodies beauty, the other creates it,
The Violet rises to the sky to shame dark clouds
The Viola trembles its strings to surpass silence
And I can see you are in color and in sound:
Petals of music with shivers of color.

Love this! I have often defined poetry as a sense... an ability to witness and freshly interpret what millions experience, but to do so in a unique way. Stunning work... so often I add too much, have to slap my own hand and say, "Enough! Stop!" Your "lesser" is so much "more." Glad to have read this. Awesome.
