This Old Guitar (For Juan) Poem by Eric Cockrell

This Old Guitar (For Juan)

Rating: 2.8


break a string...
you string, and re-tune.
play when you want,
play all night.
the older the better,
the sweeter the sound...
even the wind
pauses to listen!

lifetimes and loves,
heartaches and passion.
the very breath of God.
then with loving care,
back in the case.
sleeping together in silence!
