Aly Bahr Poet Rhyme

The Musicians

She sits in the corner
Hair over her face
Strumming her guitar
At such an easy pace

He comes out and joins her
She begins to hum
He sits on the ground
And beats on his drum

Then she starts to sing
And I gently close my eyes
Voices tugging at me
When they harmonize

In time with the music
My heart starts to beat
In tune with the words
my eyes start to weep

I follow along
As I'm taken for a ride
Through hopeful ideas
And foolish pride

I wished it hadn't stopped 
When they got to the end
I felt so touched
Like a hug from a friend

Whoever wrote the words 
Had seen into my heart
Whoever wrote this tune
Is pulling me apart

I'm thankful for the musos
Who played it so caring
And I'm so grateful to them
For their honest sharing

the barefoot bard January 21, 2026 at 12:45 AM we have a community craft morning in a park here in mareeba I play guitar and harmonica together and sing. Sometimes a lady brings a drum Its so beautiful to play together. There is a lady age of 86 who gets up and dances, I play music for the love of it much better than listening. This lady presented me with a fifty dollar note a month because of the joy i give her. Can relate to your poem from the other side Aly Bahr January 21, 2026 at 1:52 AM Wow Douglas, that is amazing the connections we keep finding. Am a very out of practice muso myself, but very private. Over the years I played piano, recorder, clarinet, flute, auto harp, guitar and sing. Jack of all trades but master of none. I just enjoyed playing and writing.
