Enjoy this poem “Song of the Violin” by Jai Lynn. We love the comparison between music and life.
The path of life
follows the notes
of a violin.
High notes
play the happy memories.
Low notes
play the sad.
The bow sliding back
and forth
no matter how fast
or how slow
is the way we look life
in the eye.
Cautiously
or rashly.
When the sound
changes strings
a new chapter
in our life story
begins.
Sometimes,
life hurts
and we fall
out of tune…
That’s when
we must
listen
to our hearts
instead of our heads
to find our music
once again.
It’s our choice
to follow
the notes
or risk losing
our song.

I agree! I had never thought of music as a metaphor for life before, so it was really fun to read this poem. Thanks for stopping by.
