At the darkest hour, when light seemed far away
I sat alone, unable to understand the next step
Listening to some soulful song, that matched my mood

Till there was change to the next piece of music
Yes, music and notes created on violin alone
The tone was upbeat with the highs and lows

There were so many transitions in just eighty seconds
The notes smoothly flowed from high to low and reverse
The overall effect was stunning and positive

It lifted my mood with its upbeat flow
It was so fast-paced, it allowed for no breath
Life was fast, and music could keep pace

The music infused energy into my veins
Darkness no longer seemed so daunting
I felt lighter as I walked towards the dawn
