Bow and Violin
Precious timber, found nowhere else
Stands tall in regimented lines
Each unique in sight, stature and smells.

One in a thousand, chosen by hand
Hewn and felled, gifted with new purpose
Far from home, better than anything planned.

Bow and violin, expertly crafted,
Cut, stretched, sanded, and strung
Beautiful sound, grafted to masterful hands.

Dancing across the stage, melodies echoing out
Bow and violin singing of flaws, sorrow, and loss
Beautiful pain dripping from every sound.

In the heart of that tree, forever cut down
Love continues to thunder from the ground,
A violin is chosen for her flaws,
Within the breaks and cracks in sound
There light and beauty flood without pause
Imperfect perfection is found.
