We breathe through the harmonica,
Our breath gives life to the music,
hidden,
within it.
Without eyes or fingers
we search and probe its
mysteries
with our mind and tongue,
our determination,
our heart.
We surround it with our hands;
embrace it with our lips;
hide it
from the world.
We are deceived by its simplicity,
moulded by its trickery,
daunted by its complexity,
joyful at its capacity
to speak
Music.
