Mandolin’s ode
At sun rise
The enchantment sounds divine
The mandolin sheds notes with emotion
Like seeds of inspiration,
At sun rise
In a breeze of a soft sea wave
Tremolos and staccatos Interweave
Tenderness, passion of serenades
Concertos, virtuoso cavalcades
The mandolin dares play endlessly
A lyrical divinity
At sunset
She lulls nights to sleep tight and sweet
And sublimes life with light and harmony
Michele Peladan
