Strumming Strings The six strings make clear ringing sounds Tunes floating from a plaintive ground, Echoing this heart's soulful thoughts Words flowing from despondent spots. Life's a guitar meant to be played Just like daylight is meant to fade, And each of its strings is a thread To hold on till the body's dead. From depths do rise amazing heights Like sweet dreams of men without sight, Long travails of mind make us wise That we are judged by hidden eyes. Every lock has a special key Like each present has its own fee, Each key needs a little turning And the fee asks for some burning. There's a meaning in everything Even in lonely state of nothing, All it takes is an inward search And the conviction to research. *!* [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 05-14-2001).] |

I used to get lost in my inward thoughts while playing the guitar. To me it's the most beautiful and expressive instrument, and when you're playing alone, it is good company. Playing a guitar is food for the soul. But I've forgotten now to play, but have not forgotten to look inward. I do a lot of that, and it is also food for the soul. Enjoyed this immensely Liz |
