The Violin

Shirley Shuler on Sep 13, 2009

A beautiful violin should never be discarded.

Beautiful, cherry wood

Shiny violin

Discarded

Hidden in the attic

Silence by the hands

That placed it there

Surrounded by cobwebs

Dusty, beautiful violin

Beckoning, mesmerizing me

Memories flooding my mind

Like no time has passed

Hands shaking

Slowly reaching

Reclaiming what is mine

Heart on my face

Tears flowing

My beautiful violin

Carved at the master’s hand

A violin should never be discarded!! Music is our universal language. Lovely piece, Shirley. Curiously, do you play the violin?

so sad that a violin is discarded and not being used.
