Heartstrings Strum

Gently strum  my heartstrings, 
So  I  can  produce  the  melody. 

The  kind  that  softens  the  heart, 
The  melody that  awakens  the  soul, 
That  which  sets  us  on fire, 
A  tingly  fire  that  makes  the  heart  race  calmly. 

Gently strum  my heartstrings, 
So  I  can  produce  the  melody. 

As  you sweep  the  plectrum  sleekly, 
In  motions  that  appease  the  strings, 
With  an  ardent  frequency sweep, 
We shall brew  a  lovely  crescendo. 

Gently strum  my heartstrings, 
So  I  can  produce  the  melody. 

Just  like  the  ocean  tides  rise  and  fall, 
So  shall  be our  intervals  tempo, 
Each time  producing  acoustic  harmony, 
That  triggers  the  explosive  expression  of  humanity.

Gently strum  my heartstrings, 
So  I  can  produce  the  melody.
