When the Violin


When
The violin
Can forgive the past

It starts singing.

When the violin can stop worrying
About the future

You will become
Such a drunk laughing nuisance

That God
Will then lean down
And start combing you into 
His
Hair.

When the violin can forgive
Every wound caused by
Others

The heart starts
Singing.
