Hungarian Dance No 5 by Brahms. Poem by Vin M

 

Hope plays

Hope plays
violin
with
style
gusto
verve
passion
heart
love

with Judy
and Jo
Helen
and Phillipa
David
and many others

with
a wry
cheeky
arched-eyebrow smile

with
The Stiletto Sisters
The Persephone Project
My Friend The Chocolate Cake
and many others

with
a cloth
under her chin
between
flesh
and wood

with gypsy clothes
and gypsy flair

with
the strings
living for the touch
of her loving fingers

with
the bow
and its hairs
coursing
a bridge
to sounds
that soothe and cry and dance

Hope plays
