The Guitar

 

I see she’s sitting there.

She’s softly strumming her guitar.

Who needs applause?

I thought I’d lend a hand.

 

And still she's sitting there

And sudden seems her stroke does find its pause.

Says she she’s got it down.

And she don’t need a man.

 

I see the heaven’s break . . .

 

Dance on the dainties of her wrist

All the rains and thunder

Kneel themselves to pray.

 

She plays that crystal lake;

I’d swear her fretting rings of violins

And they tear sunder from the fingerboard

And back.

 

And still she sits . . .

 

Right there,

Beneath the shadow of a kiss;

Beneath the brimming of the music

In the dawn.

 

I saw her sitting there

And all the world’s a silent moan.

She lit one final chord.

The music's gone.

Not bad! It's been a while since I've written a poem but I wrote one recently. Tell me what you think?

 

“The Crack in the Liberty Bell”

 

May America bring us a miracle…

A paradigm shift that’s one of God‘s most wonderful gifts,

A promise in the form of justice,

And the end of times in a series of rhymes!

The truth is not a guessing game,

And no one knows Gods name

It doesn’t matter who is right

Unless they’re willing to stand up and fight

To defend the truth for what it is

And hope God considers them one of His!

When all is said and done

It doesn’t matter what you call Gods Son

Just that your life was fun!

Wow!  For it to be described that way will make me think differently next time i am alone, playing my instrument and making melody in my heart...

 

Is there a reason Graymatter has disappeared?  I have some frantic friends who are wondering if you were called up, or why you left....Just hope you are well and glad you are here.  I did not know you had this post but so glad I found you again...your poetry is like a fluttery butterfly to my senses, awakening ....well, you know...
