A hot Sydney summers afternoon
A little leprechaun violinist
plays Vivaldi Bach
trills and all
near an ATM
in a liver bricked suburban
shopping centre
shoppers oblivious to magic
cardboard cutouts
stuffing faces with donuts
and mouthing latte frothed
words rattling round
like cheap tin plates on concrete
The eyes of a couple of young children
registered what was happening
But give them time
'Down by the Sally Gardens' will have
different connotations soon
If you are reading this
Thank you
I enjoyed your playing
it transformed a dull afternoon
into something very pleasant
Wonderful, I loved this. It always amazes me when people don't notice the moments of beauty like this one that are scattered throughout our lives.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for sharing this with I Saw Sunday. I had to re enter your link so it pointed to this actual post, I am glad I did I would want people to miss this. :-)
I hope to see you next week at I Saw Sunday.
Thank you Susannah. I don't know how to link.
ReplyDeleteHello again. :-)
ReplyDeleteTo link to an 'actual post' you just click on the title of the post you want to linkt and that will open a page with just the post itself, then you swipe the address in the top bar and then paste it into the linky. (I hope that made sense? If not I can always fix it for you next time you link.)
Susannah :-)
