By The River Piedra, I Sat Down & Wept, by Paulo Coelho

The Silver Flute

Her hands,
like small silver moons
Her finger nails painted
like a bright blue sky
seem to dance
across the slim silver flute
They move swiftly
like a fierce winter wind
I ask,

your fingers so fast?"
"I like playing this song,"
she answers quietly,
seeming so concentrated
as she goes on playing
her fingers dancing again
like stars in the night...
