Play a Tune on the Old Guitar
A song just for me

Play a Tune on the Old Guitar
Play a tune on the old guitar for me,
Let the melody float like waves on the sea.
Strum the strings with fingers worn and true,
Sing a story of skies both gray and blue.
Let the chords hum soft, like a whispered prayer,
Filling the silence that lingers there.
Each note a memory, a tale untold,
Of love once kindled, of hearts grown bold.
Play me the song of a summer’s eve,
When the world was young, and we believed.
The sun dipped low, the stars held sway,
And dreams chased the shadows of the day.
Oh, play me a tune, let it carry me far,
To a place where I’ll find who we truly are.
Where the old guitar holds the voice of time,
And every strum is a whispered rhyme.
So play on, my friend, on a sunny summer’s day,
Let the echoes linger, let the song not stray.
For in every chord, I find my way,
To yesterday’s dreams and tomorrow’s day.

Lovely poem with a great flow.
I may be partial because I play the guitar (bass, actually, but I play it like a guitar), but this one really spoke to me. Well-wrought!
