Golden Horn

7 1 0
                                    

And I heard a horn,
squeaky and out of tune,
rusted, unhinged,
The player unknown
of what they were making.
But it created a sound
Filled with emotion:
hope and frustration
courage and sadness,
The listener unknown
of what they were feeling.

I found it quite
beautiful and curious
that such a sound
from a stranger
I couldn't see
had been carried
across an unknown distance
and arrived
to me.
