Somewhere a version of you
Is finally able to fix
A broken violin
As the night outside
Turns emerald green
And the fire grows cold
In the fireplace,
And you wonder
If throwing silent,
Winter nights into disarray
By sending out notes
Of a newly repaired
Time-worn violin
Will be a huge mistake?
For life may be full
Of trivial affairs,
But something colossal
Is always at stake.

This one really carries some weight. The final lines “But something colossal / Is always at stake…” seem so heavy with expectancy and absolute truth. It really does feel like something huge may be just around the corner, and we should take care lest we awaken it. Fortunately, this isn’t always the case, and for good reason: if it were, I’m sure I’d have already destroyed the world with my ineptitude at some point! π Oh well. This is seriously a stunning piece of writing, Aaysid. It’s well worth several readings. Also, the Douglas Adams quote is hilarious. Great writing, my friend! π
