Steel Strings

 A poem I wrote a long, long time ago.


Steel strings, sing your tune tonight

To the whispers of the summers light

Your colors claim from blue to gray

But your sound, oh that sound,

so much to say

Enraptured souls trapped upon a wire

Released with the caress of hands inspired

A body polished, curved upon the frame

Yet no two sounds are ever the same

Inspirational moments will come and pass

Sweet memories must make them last

And the vibrations pulsing

from each silver strand

Will hum the tune,

"come dance, my friend..."
