i watch intently as he

raises the bow and pauses,

eyes closed and mind focused


with a quick nod of the head,

he moves the bow and

begins to play the medley


the audience is instantly

on the edge of their seat,

watching the quiet boy play


his hands move quickly,

carefully playing each note

without making a mistake


his face is completely blank,

eyebrows furrowed from

a state of concentration


the way he is fully immersed 

in the music he is creating

truly mesmerizes me


i am falling in love with him

the same way that he has

fallen in love with his music

pain, reality, and peopleWhere stories live. Discover now
