Kind of a Steve Earle sound to this one


Poem Artwork



This old guitar
has seen its share of things
All the years
and all the miles
echo though its strings
It’s been my friend through ups and downs
but never lost its shine
And its song has grown richer over time

This old guitar
is a lot like me
Sometimes it plays
fast and hard
or as gentle as can be
Its been loved, and bruised a bit
but it hasn’t lost its shine
And its song has grown richer over time

This old guitar
it just wants to sing
Of happiness
of sorrow
and the joy the future brings
It’ll still be here when I’m long gone
but it won’t ever lose its shine
For its song will grow much richer over time

Maybe for some Richard, but they probably need to get a life :) Making music or film is a social thing that requires the collaborative effort of other 'real' human beings...otherwise can you imagine what a bore it would be ;)

It is assuredly possible, in these days of cyber-spatial madness, to develop a better relationship with an instrument than with other human beings. Your sentiments here are touching and evocative Edwin.

Light and Wisdom ...

Great comparison between yourself and the guitar. Lovely poem showing that songs from the two of you will last a long time. Victor
