Twisted String

Twisted String


Blows a storm through the strings
in the fiddler’s tune
this gale blows down
from mountains of the moon
hearts are lost to the swinging swoon
sails torn in the wailing wind
lost souls wail in the flying wind
these fiddlers just play on.

tap their feet to a reggae beat
passive gaze at their fingers dance
a whirl-wind blows
a hard rain falls
but as if in a trance
these fiddlers just play on.

Though the barn burn down,
and the world be gone,
and time be done for everyone,
will these fiddlers play,
these fiddlers just play on?
