TITANIC OVERTURES

Chinrest in place I begin to play my violin and the whole world 
                       disappears....
an appassionato moment of pure delight, among the chaos of 
                                            a swallowing ocean ! 
Dreams I never dared dream pour out like blood, at the cusp of 
                                                         a massive drowning; 
Titanic of 1912, a collision of magnitude proportion between
                                    ice and steel, 
the thrum of dying bodies pummeling down into the sea. 

She was beautiful, a broken fire in the middle of the 
                                            Adriatic Sea...
He a Jack of the arts a poor man with a lucky card 
then there was J Bruce Ismay, a coward 
with a license to preach, a self appointed God, 
who placed greed in front of life and progress... 

I play on, " Nearer, My God, to Thee" my music becomes my last will and testament, as my feet sink and my soul leaves my body I play for the God who saves, I play for the drowning victims, and I play for the sea, that taketh me
