Mike Gentile Poet Sijo

The Strings of Love

For some, orchestral violins are known by such a name
     Emotions stirred that tug the heart are often their reward 
For me, the ties that bind our souls are called the strings of love

What else could keep a merry man to tend a withered field
          or sacrifice a lifelong course when need has come to fore
The strings of love are delicate yet graced with might of steel
