I’m a dumb as the clowns
And as wealthy as kings
All I own is my language
And the six silver strings

In the eye of a blizzard
Or in the circle of friends
I will always feel warm
With a guitar in my hands

Go ahead, strip me naked
Burn all of my things
But I beg you, please leave me
The six silver strings

With a sense of fulfilment
Or without a sense
I will always be happy
With a guitar in my hands

All I have is my conscience
And my conscience still sings
To the sound of music
Of the six silver strings

Master, you sound like my husband! Only his all consuming passion is the 4 stringed variety! Very cute!

Ooops...love the poem, love the music that six strings bring, but alas the only strings I know, are the one's I'm on the end of....forgive my strange mind, I feel a need to say, pluck me....oops...wicked humour needs sleep, methinks!

I don't play, but I love to listen to the guitar. THanks for your comments.

PS:
LOL, RainbowGirl did I tell you I was a master of puppets, pulling those strings you're hanging on. *S*

My musical talent consists solely of an ability to appreciate the talents of others. *G* But I do love the guitar... nice poem!

Master,
You must have the soul of a musician.
Enjoyed the poem.

I wish I had musician's skills... oh well, guess I was born to be a poet. Thanks Seymore!
