MAGICIAN ON A VIOLIN

   Steadily, he stands with his violin in hand,

Confidence is a look that’s on his face,  ready.

Beginning slowly while he stares out at his audience,

A touch of anger in his eyes as he starts moving around.

He strums the instrument faster while he dances around the room,

Now one with the violin, a magician of this musical art.

He feels like nothing without the instrument which he holds,

Magician on a violin,  a wizard of beautiful sound.
