Lost Soul's Concerto
My daughter is a muscian, with a great natural ear, and is classically trained. She always had a fascination with the holocaust. She asked me to rent Schindler's list. We did not expect the combination of visual and musical images to be this powerful. She was 15 at the time, and played itshak Perlman's piece by ear.
My daughter and I watched the stark images
Entranced by the blacks, whites and shades of grey
As the soulful strings from Schindler's Theme
Wailed with mournful sadness
At its finale
Her musician's instincts
Led her to pick up her student strings
And Play the melancholy melody
Tears marked her cheeks
As she swayed gently with the aching flow
Of the cruelty threaded piece
We lived the angst filled moment
As the music haunted us
For a silent moment
While the lost souls listened
Entranced by the blacks, whites and shades of grey
As the soulful strings from Schindler's Theme
Wailed with mournful sadness
At its finale
Her musician's instincts
Led her to pick up her student strings
And Play the melancholy melody
Tears marked her cheeks
As she swayed gently with the aching flow
Of the cruelty threaded piece
We lived the angst filled moment
As the music haunted us
For a silent moment
While the lost souls listened
