My 2005 American Treasure
G D A E
The strings that tie me to my happiness
Lives on my 2005 American Treasure
The shining wood as rich and brown as my skin
The bow hair that is as strong as my hair
As strong as my passion and love
For my 2005 American Treasure
The ebony pegs
That creek and crack
Like bones that need to be stretched
The scroll that that swirls forever and ever
That high pitched sweet sound that plays forever and ever
He is my 2005 American Treasure
He goes on stage with me
He sees my nerves
My hearbeat rising
My breath shortening
He calms me
He reassures me
He gives me courage
He glistens in the spotlight
He meets with his bow companion
And all goes silent.....
...............
..............
...............
The real world has returned
My soul has made its way back to me
The sound of applause rings through my ears
Through his ears
It is over.
I bow and smile and cry and hug
My 2005 American Treasure
