Poetry (Prompt — The Music Of Dreams)

When he plays his violin, Sweet melody reaches my ears, And touches my heart with each note, I always spot him, Sitting in the corner of the street, An old man with gray hair, Shabby in appearance, Wearing tattered clothes, His face contorts in a rage, The expressions he carries shows pain, With all the pride his violin he plays.

He plays his violin with great zeal, His music gives me goosebumps, I stand from a distance, And watch him play the notes, Each chord that he plays evokes my emotions, Some would be moved to tears by his music, He lays a box in front of him, With expectations for his music, Some might pay a dollar or a quarter, To quench his thirst and hunger, Sometimes people would gather around to hear his music, And would depart without offering him a penny, Without being disheartened, With all the pride his violin he plays.

Today there was an empty space, Where he played the violin, I waited for a long time, but did not see him, Maybe he moved to a better place, Where people would care to pay, But his powerful music, Finds a way in my dreams, He continues to play new and old melodies, I recall his music clearly, Bringing a lump in my throat, I wake up from my dream.
