Flat Top Box

With fingers skipping across my flat top box, an interlude echoing upon the air, I am jettisoned into other worlds. Acoustic tones of jazzy blues, rings my ears and pacifies the pain. Resonance of the wood sprite; stresses the secrets I harbor in the hallways of my mind; intonations the colors of me. Fingertips waltzing between ebony-floored frets; revealing timbre that lay within, feelings read by cedar and spruce; a treasured gift from the timber woods, a altered spirit, is my guitar; a miraculous flat-top box.
