Better Than Words

I embrace its body

and neck,

pulling each string with

tender intent

allowing the strings

to gasp between each note.

Crashing, colliding,

retreating—

Resting when there is

nothing left to be said.

A melodious life is beautiful.

No detail dismissed.

Each speck amounting

to an intricate composition

where no interpretation is needed

just listening, feeling and expressing.

The profound

and simple.
