Oh! Guitar, what music hides in thy heart, That awaits the touch of my soft fingers. As my digit ends move over thee in quiet, What melody comes, how it my spirit triggers! Every chord in thee is fastened so tight. If one is loose, the notes run dissonant. With thy rhythm n’ melody, thou hold my heart light. Wonder what sprite hides in this instrument. As I listen to thy finely tuned sounds, How I am kept long suspended in time. To what heights then my wearied soul rebounds, Making me afloat in celestial rhyme. Oh music, flood in me to drown my pain. Can anyone on earth your healing power disdain?

Awesome. Do you play? I wish I was musically inclined but alas, such is not the case. Celestial rhymes rock!

Ah sweet valsa, how nice to see you post again, its a beautiful sonnet so well written, and in such an lyrical and melodious manner! I especially love the lines “ Oh music, flood in me to drown my pain. Can anyone on earth your healing power disdain?” How poetic and eloquent! I love music and always found it healing and calming, listening to music especially when everything feels heavy so this sonnet really did resonate iso so well crafted! Pleasure reading. I hope your travels are going well! Sending you light always
