A Simple Strum Of Words

A simple strum of words, unlashed my heart
Just newly knit in affirmation to go on
The broth of an endless simmered thought
Ceaselessly pours to let go and hold close

What do we fear?
The melody seems as crisp as then
Pulling near the farthest reaches where and when
I can’t forget

Though it may burn my eyes to see this clearly
What makes a man reach back in time to grasp his image
Three chord notes along the bridge, a pastime scrimmage
A simple strum of words, unlocked without a trace

Awash in the colors of a future place
Playing the music by touch, feeling just as much
Left softly in the dew
I can’t forget

You~

I LOVE:

“A simple strum of words, unlashed my heart”

AND:

“What makes a man reach back in time to grasp his image(?)”;

I am especially fond of the ending:

“Awash in the colors of a future place
  Playing the music by touch, feeling just as much
  Left softly in the dew
  I can’t forget…
  You(!)”

Applause!!

I read this again and it gives me chills

not the negative ones...
