God's Violin

                God's Violin

In the distance, a sweet melody is heard,

Musical strains, without one spoken word.

Is it a violin... with its four little strings?

Could this tune from it...come into being?

Coming from a distance, but catching the ear,

Creating a longing...to get closer and hear.

It's the wind a whistling, high in the trees,

Creating beautiful music, in the cold winter breeze.

The wind blowing through trees, telephone wires and even through a damaged fence can be quite harmonious. You have added another dimension to this by putting the sounds to words.

People say the country is quiet and boring...all they have to do is open up their ears. Love the summer sounds too. Kathie

My first boyfriend played violin...gotta admit it has a certain magical quality...the poem's last stanza remindes me of Led Zeppelin 's 'Stairway to heaven'...the beauty of nature's sweet symphony, of the whistling winds, the silken rustle of trees...truly is beautiful.:))

Emma, many people think the country is too quiet for them, they need to open their ears and listen. Kathie

I live in the country, fields , hills, streams etc. close by. Not one motorway in this county. Have been to cities, wonderful cities, but my spirit is happier here.. :)

my last ex-wife played violin...nature plays it much better...
a breezy, soft sound comes from this poem...

Jacob, I did too when a child, even played on T.V. in the 3rd grade. Then dad went on midnight shift, needed his sleep so my violin and my brothers trumpet went mute. Quiet, daddy's sleeping!!!!! smiling...Kathie

Nature is the greatest composer ever to be found. Past, present and future.
