flutes

It is only a tool.
A tool forged from
the metals of the
earth. From silver.
From gold. Fashioned
by history. Crafted
by the masters. It is a tool
that shapes mood and
culture. It enraptures.
Sometimes distracts.
Exhilarates and soothes.
Sings and weeps. Now
take up the tool
and sculpt music
from the air.

Flutes sound beautiful. Do you play?

I used to. But my flute is now retired, so I'm on the hunt for a new one.
