THE VIOLINIST

Mamoun Al Homsi (1949) - Syrian Artist

"The PLayer"

2008

  81 x 100 cm Oil on canvas

I play my violin

just to hear it crying

by my side

near my ear

It shares in 

my sorrow

but in a so

heartbreaking way

I never could 

express by myself

I play the violin

sat down and

defeated 

holding it close 

to my ear

I cannot continue

the fight deserted

anymore

but my violin 

chases my fears

as long as I 

let it cry....................cc
