Weeping Girl

Your tears do not become your eyes.
Would my guitar weep in their stead
to drench and drown the shade that tries,
and charm a smile when woe has fled,
the fingers of my restless hands
would dance to soothing sarabands.

Her loving minstrel strums his guitar with the music of minuets to soothe her wounded soul, dry her tears and once again to her face return a smile. How lovely this is. Huggs TLee
