Abosede Ogundare Poet Free verse

Melody From a Stranger

You see, circumstances brought me to this far away land
And each night, after a long day
An angel serenades my soul with guitar and solemn voice
The breeze of the night slowly bring his melody to me

I know him not, but with each string his hand touch
My soul knows peace...and i know I'm  here to stay
Keep striking those strings, stranger
Keep healing my soul from a long and brutal heartbreak
 

~For Laura Loo's "Music To My Soul" contest.
