    Music

    that Rocks the Soul



    By Jane Gilgun

    Barbara made music
    with the cello rested against her left knee
    As the bow stroked the strings
    she became the bow and the instrument
    Music arose
    Joy and fulfillment
    Enchantment

    Young she is, at the beginning of her adult life
    much to look forward to
    She brings to mind two other young women
    who were like her,
    enchanting, loved, tapping into the music of the spheres
    both dead by young men
    who wanted what the young women had

    How does it happen that rape and strangulation
    arise in response to beauty that rocks the soul?

    Barbara continues to make music
    So do the other young women
