Fiddler

Written after seeing my first Lindsey Stirling video

Bow to string

The violin sings

she leaps and twirls

and creates a world

That is her own

her private zone

that breaks our hearts

as we're not part

and can only listen

while our tears glisten

as our souls take wing

bow to string

I do not know Lindsey Stirling, but this is a fine tribute to her as a musician. Her violin playing seemingly moved you to tears. That has happened to me too on occasions.. That has to be an artist at the top of their game that can touch the emotions in this way.

Check her out on youtube. She tends to create "themed" videos. Romantic or fantasy. Glad you like the poem.Peace!

Every time I read a poem about a violin (or violinist) I cannot help but play my poem "Minuet in Minor" in my head (my mind tends to do that). But this poem, short and sweet, is a nice lullaby to the fact that art is divine and the mortals who experience it understand (or should) that they're not part of this world, and that the experience is thus supposed to be taken seriously (not for granted). This also read like a children's poem/song, which enriched the lullaby factor. Well done! Much enjoyed.

Good job focusing on this inspiring moment. I find, when I watch artists of all persuasion, it's very inspiring for writing. I'm especially taken by musicians who perform their art with full-body physicality . . . it's amazing to watch how the music seems to come from the whole body, not just the instrument. You captured that, which is one of my favorite things about watching musicians play (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thanks my friend! I actually have a fiddle, but the local cats banded together and got a restraining order to stop me from ever playing it again!

That's crazy! What happened to "live & let live"?!?!
