Heart Strummer

I am the toucher of lost hearts
Allow me to reach into you
So the rivers of pain may part

The words I speak to you are true
I possess an ancient power
Allow me to reach into you

I come to you in morning hour
Relief is but a string away
I possess an ancient power

With practiced fingers I do play
Your heart becomes my symphony
Relief is but a string away

You live within my poetry
Your heart becomes my symphony
I am the toucher of lost hearts
So the rivers of pain may part


For are you? Fantasy character contest.
I think all poets possess magical powers.
