The Violin

The violin 

Stirs something within

A bravery I didn’t have a minute ago

A new soul 

A fire that has a desire to spread

A motivation to become something more

The violin 

Stirs something within 

And the heroes journey begins again

The imagination goes rampant

The day dreams scream

It all feels within my grasp

Like I actually have a chance

To make a real difference 

To be somebody

The piano comes in

Doing a dance with the violin

And I swear I could fly

With this music

I want to try to become something

If life consists of this

‘Music’

And music can stir the soul like this

Then, what else can it do?

What else can we transcend?

What does it mean to live?

If music stirs whatever is within,

Then,

What is within?

What is that stirs?

What is it that calls to us?

With just a violin

We can hear a reason to live. 

With just a piano

We can desire to grow

And with just a guitar

We can hear the voice of our souls.
