The Musician

I was sitting alone and silent, 
while trees swayed back and forth.

Without warning, 
	untouchable, 
		unseen, 
a musician began to play.  

The melody rose, then fell  
as breathy tones I heard. 
Soon the shriek of a crescendo 
shattered the midnight air.

I shivered at the passion 
	and sat in awe and wonder,
		listening to the song 
of the untouchable, 
	unseen 
		musician.
