Prayer
the song is like this:
soft–quickly growing
fading and swelling
plaintive vibrato, reluctant
Endings.
Beginning contained, it loses control–
desperate prayer–
tears to the eyes
all pain, translated into triplets
all soul, wailing through the strings
a slide to the last note–
hold forever———
-diminish-
and
fade
leave behind a ringing
of the war–
a fight between faith
and sorrow.
