The lowly musician
Will there be anyone to give him a listen?
Pulls out his fiddle
Fashions a melody as mysterious as a riddle
Plays his weird tune
Slowly draws others in like the tides to the moon
Builds on his breathtaking song
Silently the world begins to dance along
Finishes with unattainable grace
Sees each person gape with shock evident on his face
Looks at them in anticipation
Is shown elusive appreciation
Hops down and gives them a bow
Remarks "Gave me a chance, the rest was easy, wasn't it now?"

© Whitney S., Philadelphia, MA

I hope people remember that judging is wrong so they can enjoy things about others they may have never gotten to experience if they were prejudiced.
