Strings Lovely viola, sweet violin sings How many bows have slipped over your strings? How many eyes looking on with respect? How many fingers caressing your neck? Banjo and fiddle, of bluegrass and rag Thousands of notes played with never a lag How many pics plucking colorful tunes? How many songs under old southern moons? Weathered guitar with a lazy old hum Passion’s flamenco in hot rhyhmic strum How many notes in baroque-worn guitars? How many songs under how many stars? Harp, swan of instruments, ten million strings Are plucked by the angels with opal-white wings Is it that God makes your beauteous sound? Or is it your music is heavenly bound? I think the universe pleasantly rings Each hour of the day with the music of strings Elizabeth Santos |

Oh Elizabeth I agree with you so whole heartedly! I love the mood you captured here in this reference to the beauty of all those instruments. Well done my dear poet lady....and I love your works as much as ever! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |
