As you pluck the strings
on your silent guitar
I wonder if you remember
who you really are,
the love you offered
with each new note,
the heart upon which
your lifetime lover did dote
before the fall
of your body and mind.

You are still...

the high note of love
to at least one quiet heart
who lives within the memoried cadence
that was your every step,
your naturally smooth rhythm,
your splendid soulful tune
that sang out in love
December to June
and then carried through
to December again
until the final chord
struck you down,
left you as quiet as the morning dew.

Do you remember?
I do.
I shall remember
for both of us,
until the final
crescendo
leaves us
both
in silence.

Thank you, dear friend. Your warm replies have been greatly missed!

PS  I wrote this while listening to a Joe Satriani guitar tune called "You saved my Life"

Kacy~  I love the melancholy tune
and the melody of memories
that took me back.

Beautiful,  you~
