– Shaman Romney 2021Tension builds
As the post is turned
Strings are plucked
Tunings set
A flourish of notes to check
The music beginsThe girl plays
A nice, simple tune
Of times past
Bittersweet
Awash in the memories
Of a better lifeThe song ends
Coins clink in the jar
The thank yous
And praise comes
The girl dons a sad smile
As she starts againHours pass
As strangers walk by
Few see her
Less listen
But music and money made
Is a day well spent
Shame on The Universe 
What do you think?
