Spectral Violin
From where does the melody
of a violin’s message begin?
Does its origin arise
between harmony of heart and wood
adding depth and richness
to release a timeless song?
How does the violin’s bow
know of the exact moment
to shift its loudness
in a whisper to its fragile strings?
Is the magic released
when tension is toned
and dynamic accents lends its hand
to create a spectacular pitch?
Perhaps the magic from a violin’s song
is ultimately captured in resolution
when notes of dissonance echo so sharply, our very life’s struggle
as we seek and search to find restful balance
and the violin’s bow, offers its salubrious consonance.

Preface . . .
There is a human language that encompasses the globe, regardless of race, color, creed or country. Much the same way as laughter or tears, or any of our human emotions. When we see someone laugh, there is a universal language that is communicated by all of us. We know they are happy. Just as when we see someone crying, it is generally accepted to mean they are, most likely, sad. However, the language I am referring to goes beyond the sight of emotions, and runs deeper than the tear streaked lines of a sad face. I am speaking of a language that can penetrate to the deepest depths of the human psyche, it can be felt in the beating of our hearts and it can leave us soaring among our dreams.
This universal language is music.
Upon these waves of sound we can find our spirits lifted to the heavens, we can feel the beats and the rhythms in our beings and we are moved by the vibrations. We may become lost in a memory or a moment of time may be singled out by the distinct patterns and oscillations of a melody. We may gather by the thousands to listen to this music together or we may be alone in our rooms, or be dancing with our friends or cuddling with our love, but the universal language of music expands human communication beyond the normal realm. It propels us into the wavelengths of our souls, and it is there that we become in tune, we find our harmonies, and we recognize that there is a true power in music.
The poetry included in this book seeks to capture that essence and tap into that power. These are the lines of communication opened and inspired by the universal language called music.
