Joseph May Poet Free verse

Violin

Untouched by the caress of a bow,
  The instrument lies mute, voiceless
 A song slumbers on the strings, will the player show?
  An adept touch is what is sought
 Until then, silence is the only tune.
  Who will take it over that lilting bridge,
 Over deep waters in rhythmic flow
  The silence must be broken...
 Then, as she approaches,  the strings tremble,
  Her caress is what it longed for
 Bow meets strings, and a concerto begins
  A melody drifts across the water,
  The long awaited caress is magical
