Reel Around the Sun



7/8/99

I pop in my CD
Sit down with a pen,
Posed above paper
Waiting for the low flute to begin.

A sound so mornful
Yet bitter-sweet,
Seeps from the speakers
To hear it is a treat.

Then, from the bluish fog
That the low flute has created,
I hear a bow bouncing upon strings
"Now for a reel," the violin has stated.

Colors burst
As the violin plays,
Gorgeous fireworks of music
That I shall remember through all my days.

The reel dips and curls about itself
As if it were a ribbon in the wind,
Such fast patterns of music
Of which only a violin could send.

I can practically see the notes dancing in the air
As the song changes key,
An accordian adds to the sound
And I feel my soul seeping away from me.

I'm soaring above Ireland
Gazing at the emerald fields,
Dipping and turning to the beat
Which envelopes me  like a shield.

A flute plays a line of crazy sharps and flats
Somehow blending together,
The violin takes on stronger than before
Turning out increadible measures.

Suddenly all is still
The air no longer vibrating with drums,
From the stillness and silence
The low flute once again comes.

Last time it played an awakening
This time an end,
The sound fades out
And all it takes is a push of a button for it to play again.

~Inspired by Riverdance~

Yeah, I know, that was sappy, go read something gruesome now...
