AIR FOR G STRING

By Evelyn Scott

White hands of God

With fingers like strong twigs flowering

Rock me in leaves of iron,

Leaves of blue.

Hands of God

Fashioned of clouds

Have finger tips that balance the almond white moon.

The pale sky is a flower

White tipped and pink tipped with dawn.

White hands of God gather the blossoms with fingers that hold me,

Cloud fingers like milk in the azure night,

Weaving strong chords.
