Dec 14th prompt from Domina Temporis: Violin


Violin


A violin; sheer happenstance…

A pawnshop purchase, made by chance.

Impossible to calculate

Which instrument might captivate

An artist at a single glance.

~0~

Long nimble fingers skip and dance,

Let strings and bow reverberate

With pathos, longing, joy, romance;

A violin.

~0~

The lilting notes beguile, entrance;

Bring comfort to a friend, perchance;

When nightmare scenes disorientate.

And give good cause to celebrate

The whims of fate and circumstance;

A violin.
