The Instrument

[Joe Bluggs]

He played a tune
On his perfect violin

Living things
Remembered
Made his fingers move

Hard days
He began to smile

Soft days blowing
Down memories laneway
Riddling him awhile

Why a wooden thing
Should outlive its master
And why he hadn’t yet
Mastered a wooden thing

Faintly, then it sprang to mind
That he was an instrument of
The Divine
Something that would go on
Forever
And reach far back in time
Just a bellow, bow, string
Or key of a harmony emerging
From the ocean of the unseen
A vibrating light
Shimmering under
a pale horizon

Thank you for your comment. Glad you found something musical in that little verse. I've heard more folk musicians and musicians, as you say, playing and singing for the love of it than i have heard professional, let's say highly paid, musicians. Can be just as exciting if not more so, to witness expression for it's own sakes as much as possible. Thank you. Joe.

The devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal. I’m sure glad Johnny knew how to play.

Really enjoyed thinking about the sounds of vibrating Light. I wish more could hear it!

Very much enjoyed!

I'm definitely not musically inclined. But the sounds of the violin is soothing and full of splendor. You created a poem I could not only visualize, I could hear the sounds uplifting in my mind and soul. I loved it!

Thank you David, I remember that song well, I think it was a card game too, bargaining for that man's soul.
A friend of mine who had a big conversion to Christianity said he was in a card game one night and some guy
staked his own Factory and lost of course lol ...Vibrating light sounds good. Thanks for reading. Joe.
