The Violin's Voice


The flow and grasp of hand
A bow in heart's command
Sounding strings
Sensibility of soul
Waves of a knowing grace
Fill the room
Each note
Each pause
Each touch
And heard be the violin's voice
The music
The music.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Music is the poetry of emotion
And poetry is the voice of music.

Hi Rose Marie-

Lovely flow of words - magical and rhythmic. I can hear the violin in my mind, feel the vibration in my body, sense the tone in my spirit and tremble with it's drama while floating on it's innocence. "Thank you"

And thank you for visiting my blog-space and your heartfelt comment. I love that your inner child is happy and that you know well, the journey to self.

Love to you
Gail
peace......

Do you play the violin? This seems very similar to the experience that a musician would have playing their instrument. This particular musician obviously loves what they do and it can be heard by those around. Lovely.

Ashley, I do not play the violin but very much identify with its beautiful voice. Happy for your visit!
