Virtuoso violinist played
Bach unannounced at subway stop.
Child felt pull, ran toward music.
Mother pulled him back, train to catch.
How much magic did I miss today?
I saw the video of this, Victoria, and it was so sad to see the mother pull the child back from this marvelous music. I'm sure there's magic I miss every day too. I think there's a huge need to slow down. Very effective poem.
Strong image! I think we all miss magic. Sometimes the world moves just too fast....and the trains come too frequently!
ReplyDeleteI read this story. Great poem to express it.

Wow, what a wake-up this is. I keep reminding myself to slow down and savor the moments but seem to rush around way too much.
ReplyDeleteExcellent poem. I enjoyed going with you to hear that violinist play brilliantly last Saturday. It is a timely reminder to look for the magic.
ReplyDeleteGood reminder poem to slow down and not miss the magic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great image. I will slow down today just in case.
