For Shen Qi
Love, Health, Happiness

On wings of Erhu flight
and the softest fingers
fisted to the stroking bow,
she is in the mood,
sounds unheard before
carry everyone away--
fate trumping chance,
she is off on a whim;
fingers and strings, fist and bow
woven in the soulful air..........
and everyone brought back.

[The erhu is a 2 stringed Chinese instrument that creates a sound vaguely like a viola,
but is plaintive and rich and totally rewarding in the right hands.]
