The Guitarist

Some run smoothly 
Up her neck to play 
The most wonderful 
Sounding notes of joy

While others struggle
With their dexterity
And memory as the
Notes come few and
So far between

Yet, the struggling
Artist who lives for
The pleasure of her
And personal feelings
Will always play 
Melodically, as the heart
Desires effort and 
Improvement
Thereby allowing
Her lover
To always be 
The absolute best.

Therefore it is not
The sounds resonating
From the amp
But it is the music
Resonating from
The heart that
One should listen for.
